Amazing how there are mirror smooth reflections upon "choppy" water...Woo Hoo!

Haha, i love the humour here. Lovely vibrance and a very original use of source (as always!)

awe.. Ponti got attacked by the thumbs down monster... LOL.. really cracks me up LOL

super cool coloring and perfect water reflections...i have to learn how u always achieve perfect reflections...best of luck

For those wondering, I think you have to use displacement map for the reflection, distort -ripple might work too, but whenever i used displace on water it looked marvelous.
Then you could try edit - fade displace if you want less of that effect.
Maybe author can help more.

aaaand the pettiness continues, haven't even been back a week

I think if you let the tomato amis spherical and darker (look the other balls) you get a better result

very cool neat work...gl

As a snooker player I get the pun, as a chopper I`d expect more.... nice humor though

Awesome! and very creative!

the idea is cool, but the woman is flat and I would like to see SBS.

=)

what can i say ,all sources, chop , paste, color balance finish

Obvious distortion of the woman, otherwise just clean up a few edges & it's an interesting entry.
