Well, many seemed to as how I did my shot so here I go!!

I had the idea for a while now.. well, at least having somthing inverted in a glass of water. I just thought it would be neat with me in it. :-)

The setup was simple. In my livingroom, I had a softbox on my right. The camera was on a tripod about 4ft from the glass and I was about 3 ft from the glass:


First off, here,s my original:


First thing I did was rotate 180 degrees and a slight crop for better balance.

Next I greyscaled the image then put it back to RGB.
I then adjusted levels.
I then played with color balance on the bottom layer to give it the blue tint.
I erased the water on the top layer to get the blue from the bottom layer through.
I then "burned" the hell out of everything around the glass to make it stand out more.
Slight USM and Neat Image and voilà!


If you have any questions feel free to PM me.

PS: here are some more shots.. unprocessed.
