Step 1: Downloaded my own photo DISCO2542 which was taken at Wayanad, Kerala
Step 2: Downloaded another photo of mine 100_1164 which was taken at Andaman Islands. Removed the blue sky with Magic Wand Tool and with crop Tool removed the bottom portion. Dragged and placed on the image at Step 1
Step 3: From the photo 100_0975 which was also taken at Andaman Island by me, the bottom portion selected, copied and pasted on the image at step 2.
Step 4: All other new layer adjustments,like levels, curves, colour balances etc. were made to complete the scene.

In Sumerian mythology, Nammu was the primeval sea that gave birth to An (heaven) and Ki (earth) and the first gods, representing the Apsu, the fresh water ocean that the Sumerians believed lay beneath the earth, the source of life-giving water and fertility. (5 years and 2515 days ago)

Nammu, Primeval, Goddess, the, Sea

Good idea. Mountains need shadows, the figure could use more defined shadows, if not a reflection. Edges of the figure & globe could use some subtle blurring. I'm not sure about the texture on the model, but if you like it, that's your call.
PS: Good find on the mythology theme.

Thanks for the compliments and the suggestions. I added some shadowing for the mountains and also slightly softened the edges of the sphere and model. I don't believe that you would find more defined shadows on such turbulent waters as these. It was a specific choice I made not to have them defined so they looked more natural. At least that's how I see it. The choice of texture was to make her look like she was made partly of water and also so it just wasn't a nude woman on water. Nammu was part of the sea and that's what I wanted to portray.

I still don't see shadows of the mountains on the water. The rest is better.

Hopefully they are a bit more defined now.
