We've lived our lives
Basically we've been good men
So stop talking of war
Cause you know we've heard it all before
Why don't you go out there and do something useful

But listen to the man in the liquor store
He yelling "anybody wanna drink before the war?"
"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"
"Anybody wanna drink before the war?"

Quote is from the Song "Drink before the War" performed by Sinead O'Connor.

I used the tea cup to symbolize the drink.. My nephews face (he's a sharp shooter in Afghanistan and is only 19 years old) then I used the background to create a light filled face to look like Sinead)

The main ripples were created with the zig zag filter, the smaller ripples were created with the waves filter, these were to show water actually hitting the puddle.

my lovely daughter was a great help in this project. Thank you Faith

check the high res, zoom in and take a look. Refraction, shadowing and bubbles... Oh My!

p.s. Faith says "please vote for me."
