You still haven;t removed the ball's reflection from the water, which is a shame because the ball itself is well cloned out.

yes i can see the reflection too...remove it!

how can you miss that reflection

ball reflection..naughty naughty

ACK.. sorry everyone else caught it as well.. hehehe.. HOP TOO IT AUTHOR.. you did the ball great.. now fix the water

GOOD JOB AUTHOR.. great FIX!!!.. hehehe. .that'll learn ya.. in a very good way!!!

thx all for pulling my attention to my mistake, i hope is better now

I'm seeing some repeats from cloning. Try changing this up a bit. Maybe try healing brush. Give yourself a break...do something away from the computer...then come back to it with fresh eyes. You'll be amazed what you see.

WOW this is really impressive work! congrats!

simple work

Nice but pretty simple and I can see the piece you cloned.

ah thanks (takes a dive) much better good luck

huhuhuh OH NO!!!

I just wanted to say that this isn't my usual manipulation.. i suppose it's good to try new things, but then again, i hate gradients

I'm sure there was a lot of work on this.. its just a shame doesn't show in the result (your description pretty much covers the Labor) but i saw a piece on here just awhile back where some one took a picture and manipulated the source picture BACK into the same exact picture.. it was really really weird, but I learned a lot from it, it's good to do new things.. gives you perspective on other things available to you.. GOOD LUCK and good job..

good thought

superb

Thanks everybody! It's not a very striking result, i know GolemAura, i just thought i might as well give it a shot.. everyone needs to try things they hate. and apparently Gradients hate me as well

very nice

aww pretty, nice work but it is rather simple really.

Yeah.. once i get more confident working with gradients i'll move on to more complicated things.. this was just a test really :p

nice job with the rainbow not sure how I feel about the liqueify coming out of the water with it. But your learning quick keep up the good work

Well i didn't want to make something so simple even simpler, so i shoved in a little water spout Thanks DigitalDreamer!

the water refraction/ripple/reflection should be following the horizon line.. (when you distorted the water you should have followed the top line of the pool, not the line closes to you) if that was your goal (and water reflections for the dolphins would be in order (flip and blur/opacity etc..) this is a very fun and great idea.. (you can also add a slight ripple,burn to where the dolphins meet the water to help in the realism... good luck on this.. sweet idea

the dolphin with the ball shouldn't be transparent or glowing

good idea. The dark line(near the bench) between grass and water looks odd. remove it and add a concrete edge.

Very nice concept. Why is the dolphoin with the ball opaque? it should not be lol.

cool

silly fun..you could ripple the water with the oval marque around the base of the baby's foot.. it would give it some motion realism.. great IDEA!!!! (oh yeah.. the reflection is awesome)

leg size is huge, because it's a baby feet. otherwise good work

Since babies aren't born swimmers...I would take this as a tragedy.

Good Luck

leg is too big
