look so real that my eyes are always deceived staring at this pic, amazing work......love the water and the reflections on it,.....

Hes going to need more then a mop. Very nice editing.

This is sooooo realistic!

This is so well done. The depth of the water is consistent throughout as indicated by the columns, the man's legs, the ashcan in the back.; as well as the distortion of reflection caused by the water. Nice work. I also like that you changed the "lighting" to give the look a less sterile look.

Good work! We'd see the entire framed picture at right, and there would be some refraction on it and the broomstick, otherwise nice job.

It's so perfect!... That's why we can suspect about the photos we see all over the world - maybe PS is acting!

lol, an awesome creation, poor guy. =)

Super work and a very believable image only the refraction is needed to pull it all together.....

Agrees with the egg (CMYK) otherwise, nice job. GL!

Pretty nice, but there are some reflection issues. The columns reflect quite crisply, yet the bright yellow caution tape barely reflects at all. The guy's reflection is properly a simple vertical flip of him from the waterline up with no scrunching, but that is not the case for the columns or side wall (and thus the ceiling and its hanging lights). [The back wall is OK.] Since the papers are submerged and the water surface is doing the reflecting, I would expect more mop-head reflection (not to mention mop-handle reflection due to all the dark-gray background it's against) given how much everything else is reflecting.

Thanks everyone for the comments! I updated my entry according to your suggestions.

awesome...
gud work author

This is a really nice work!
Just a minor detail: the reflection on the water should be infront of the broomstick and not behind.
