It may have been my site. I did a pic like this of my daughter about a year and a half ago.

Thanks...she had a blast playing in the water!

Putting the fishy in was easy. I have a .psd gold fish, I just open it, move it to my image and resize. Sometimes I lower the opacity so it does not look too bold or fake.

Thanks everyone.

thank you, A, for your response. Is the baby sitting on plexiglass on a black floor or what? this is a WINNER!
I use photoshop elements so I don't think I have that PSD fish alternative. so cool ! #2629245

Thanks Sue! Yes, she's on plexi which is on top of my black material, that I bought at Walmart.

I'm sure you can do this in Elements...just find a fish you like, and remove the background.

thank you again! I have NO idea how to find a fish in elements. You really know what you are doing, I'm just experimenting but would love to know how to do that shot! thanks! #2629258

Your welcome Sue. It's really simple. Do a google search for gold fish...find one you like, right click and save it. Open it in element, and erase the background, which will make it transparent. Open your image with the fishbow, and just move the gold fish into the bowl. Then just fiddle with opacity and size of fish. Check out this link. www.escrappers.com

Thanks Jennifer. She finally let me hold her at the end of our 2 hour session. I had Vanessa my daughter come in, which lured Abby to me. LOL!
