I. Abso-freaking-lutely. Love this page.

Is it the new coloring? No. The posture? No. The near perfection of the anatomy and face? Not hardly.

It looks. like. WATER.

I'm sure a lot of the water look is caused by the bubbles (which, btw, were the easiest part of this dang picture. Photoshop Brushes are God's Gift to Artists) but what I am the most proud of are the water reflections. All the ziggy-curvy-jaggy light spots that you see on the bottom of the pool. They're there! Where they would be in real life!

I spent TWO YEARS trying to figure out how to "fake" them in Photoshop. Doing them by hand sucked. And on this very page, things went "click" and I figured out how to do water reflections. It took two filters, a little color ajustment and boom! WATER! That looks like it's water!

I love it love it love it love it love it! :D - Chelsea Gaither
