I've been playing with this filter for years, but only recently realized its not widely known on DPC because it is NOT a DPC legal filter. Still - a wonderful filter if used in the right images and fast and easy to use. So - the filter is FLOOD by FlamingPear.com

Here is a shot I edited, no kidding for about 3 minutes:

and here is the original:

Give this one a try, guys. Its fun and, again, with care, gives amazing results.

Cindi, I love that lion pic, it looks so real.

Here is one of mine, from a while ago. I was just having a bit of fun with the flood filter.

This is my neighbor - we emailed the photo to her husband at work. We had him going for a few minutes before we put him out of his misery again :-)

Yes, completely illegal for DPC challenges, but our work sometimes deserves to go outside of DPC rules, for our own creativity. Besides, its fun to learn how to use new tools.

I have almost all of Flaming Pear's filters. Flood is a good one. My favorite is Melancholytron. A few years ago there was an exhibit at MoCA of photographs that were all 'enhanced' with the Flood filter. Very interesting stuff.

Flood also works quite well as a layer over real water if you want to change the surface appearance.

If you tell it 'no ripples' you can use the filter like a mirror. This isn't the best example, but you get the idea.....

Thank god none of you guys are turning those things into animations. During the dark ages of the internet everywhere you browsed there were those silly animated water reflections.

ETA: So Art don't get any ideas! :P
