Remove the glints from the water from the dark areas of the bear. The reflection should mirror the bear's shape.

...and that reflection is of the bear's underside.

Thanks for the coments...

Best of luck!

Is this a horses reflection or is it in the water gasping for air?

The view is from under the water facing upwards so the horses head is being forced down into the water.. Guess it can be a optical illusion too lmao.. now its under the water, now its above it

It really makes more sense now. You've really chose a really hard thing to do. I haven't really been able to find a real source to tell you if its done right. I would think the the part of the head thats coming underwater wouldn't have the distortion on it. Also to separate the underwater from the above water, I would change the color of the two. I wish you luck and have respect for you for trying this.

good luck

the pawn could be more integrated into the picture - as it is, it looks like it's "glued" on top of the photo

nice idea

good luck

Check your masking on the waterfalls, you can see straight lines of the background on each side over the frame.

hope its ok now
