Since I did composting for a levitation/jump photo, I thought it would be fun to put together an underwater composite.
Here's my first try. I realized after the fact how ironic it was that I chose to use a photo of Athens to put under water considering Greece's current financial troubles.
Here's the before photo that I started with:

I don't think it turned out so bad, though next time I'll need to pick a higher resolution image for the sky I used.
It's been a lot of fun learning Photoshop and Lightroom. I can see the benefits for both programs, but I really LOVE everything Photoshop can do. I might actually like processing RAW photos in Lightroom better, but the control I have over just about every detail in Photoshop is a lot more rewarding. I still need to figure out how to use both programs in a complementary fashion.

I've been asked why I don't do tutorials. I might in the future, but the main reason I'm not is because I'm still a beginner with bad habits and I don't want to pass those bad habits on to anyone who might stumble upon these pages. Every day I am refining and often times I am learning better techniques for things I've learned before. Once I develop my own style you'll probably see me start rolling out tutorials, but until then it's a lot more fun learning!
EDIT
Daniele wanted to use this as a wallpaper on his new laptop, but the clouds were really bugging me. Here's a different variation that I made for him. I kept the clouds from before, but added some darker, stormier clouds.
