I may have had too much fun with this one. Nobody was in the pool. She wasn't wet nor even near water, just doing a back bend on the ground. Done in Digital Image Pro 9, PhotoImpression 3.0, and Corel photohouse 5.0.

:) Cool shot Dale.
I like the effects that you did on this and how it really does look like the person is swimming in the pool!
How did you get the background to look like that?

Dale A. Ewen 		  Thanks Dan...and Isabel,you're not going to believe this, but I put the camera in two plasic ziploc bags and put the camera under the pool surface to get the pic. Then it was just a matter of making the shadows and angles just right. Don't try this with any camera that you value very much though. lol I've heard they have cameras made for just this kinda thing. I really should try one sometime.

Yeah! That's them! I also forgot to mention that I had to reconstruct her legs! Here's what I had to work with. Mind you, I skipped a few stages here and there, but I think you'll get the idea...
