Description Quickie. Only took about an hour. Maybe two. I wasn't really paying attention.

I was watching a documentary on humpback whales the other night and they were tracking this mother and calf. The calf was really young and curious, and finally discovered his shadow on the sand! It was so cute. So...this is the translated version, I guess

Very nice, especially for an hour, it would take me a week at least to pull that off! And I envy your ability to make backgrounds .

Thanks!
With the reflections on this one, all I did was create a new layer and change the layer from 'Normal" to "linear dodge" ,then used a soft brush to draw the reflection lines in white and a light blue, then got into the filters and put a gaussian blur on it, and lowered the opacity of the layer until it looked decent. I'm still trying to find new ways to do it, but at the moment it's the best way I ahve found to make the reflections
