New to the group. Hi :-)
This was shot by a swamp but I didn't get the model to lay down in the water. Rather I had her lay in the grass near by and shot her and the water at the same angle.

It looked like a pursuit, but in reality, it was a peaceful movement.

Needs Work!
I see these comments on many photos - BTW - those who are putting comments like "Needs Work" should elaborate to say what is needed according to them.

Nicely done!
Some disturbances in the water might make it even more convincing, especially given the straight line reflections of the trees crossing her body.
thats a good point thank you! :-)
Cool image! Just a thought - the water seems like it would be a little murkier, especially for the parts of her that aren't near the surface.
Thank you 😊
Well done! I agree that some of the water could be darkened a little bit more and maybe have some ripples added to it. I can see that you wanted to have some reflection of the trees in there which adds to the overall photo. Maybe have the reflections just at the top (near the head or right of the picture). That being said, I was almost fooled that model was actually in the water. ☺
Awesome thank you. The water sunk so bad I couldn't ask her to lay in it lol.
put the image of the water on top and bring her through using a mask on the water, just get the balance right and it should look as if the model is in the water. I agree some ripples in the water would have helped...
