You used Photoshop for inserting your water stock as a a transparent layer, is that correct? How did you create the water stock image in the first place? The inside edge of the ellipse is slightly askew on the right, so I was just wondering if that was a natural anomoly. [Sigh, I need to beg for Photoshop for my combined Xmas/Birthday present from my whole family.] This is a great cosplay. I'm not sure if the plane of the water is aligned with the plane on which her arms/hands are moving, but if it's off, it's not terribly noticeable. I have an overdeveloped spatial awareness so I notice geometric features of images that no one else seems to, and I can by no means say that I'm always right. But that issue and what seemed to me an over-amping on the highlights control is what allowed one of the other Hall of Fame nominees to just very slightly eek you out. I'd have voted for you both if I could have. I really enjoyed looking at your Katari and Toph cosplay. I don't know what the average age range is of Avatar fans, but I'm 40 and I love it. Keep up the dedication to your art!

Umm.... I'm little bit confuse with your questions, sorry my english not really good T.T... I've made the water stock pictures in blue screen, and I've bend it on photoshop to match it with her movement....

Your explanation was adequate for most of my curiosity. Layers are when you place one image over another. Sometimes the foreground image is created on bluescreen. Sometimes not.
In some programs (Photoshop, too, I assume), allow you to isolate an element from a typical photograph, then place it on a bluescreen/transparent layer. Once applied on top of the background/base, you can use edge blurring and finetuned pixel-editting to make the images appear as one.
Obviously the former is easier, but the second allows for some awesome effects when you haven't had the forethought for a final image which would have allowed you to create elements of the final photo on a bluescreen. I'm aware of these software capabilities, but I don't own the software or had the opportunity to learn the techniques.
I'd like to know more how you created the water stock image when time allows. Thank you for replyin.

I'm sorry I'm not understanding. I'm not familiar with the capabilities of Photoshop. You mentioned bending the water in Photoshop. I'm just having a hard time conceptualizing the original photo of the water. I don't mean to over-occupy your time or aggraveate you. Would it be possible for me to see the original water stock image? Maybe that would help me understand. I'm trying both to envision Photoshop's capabilities as well as how you achieve traditional photographic techniques and to understand which is which when I see a final project. This will allow me to know whether I should focus on improving my photography skills and camera or my software resources. That's the ultimate goal in my asking.

Hole crap. These are awesome. Q: how did you do the water effects? Is this a brush you used, illustration, or some photomanipulation technique that I've missed somewhere.
