avatar eladineI like the tutorial but i think the refraction in the water would have a different color if the sky
is that red/purplish

Please take a look at step 19:
After flatten, you can improve your work using levels / curves / blur tool / burn tool / blending
modes and other.
But do not forget to use CTRL + J because with that, you can use layer mask....

Than , special for you, here is the final result:

I have used Hue/Saturation with a layer mask

avatar eladineThank you claudio, showing a completely finished result is always much more useful for the users.
because you know that you would have noticed it too and commented on it if it was in a contest no?

avatar freejayGreat tutorial and im sure it will be a great help to alot of choppers here. The tutorial is about
placing a sunset on a photo Eladine, it isnt a contest to pick other faults in the
picture.........maybe you should do a tutorial yourself on reflections.
