Finally got around to actually submitting something here at AP. XD
Anyway, this was supposed to be rather simple in design, but the task actually turned out to be more difficult than I suspected. The look I was going for was her lying in a shallow pool of water (3 guess where the title came from... >_>), so I extracted parts of her hair, recolored them, and blurred to give that underwater look. The rest was just fooling stock photos of water for the surface, sand for the bottom, textures for more random coloring... ect.
However, the hardest part was actually fixing the scan. There was a crease going doing her right side... you can most likely still see my horrible brush work. >_>' And cleaning tips are more than welcome.
And finally, the song that inspired the title:
Let your mind wander, look beyond the shadows
Focus on the skyline, read the silhouettes
Your deepest desires are a picture of tomorrow
All your darkest fears are just a vestige of regret
And it's wo-oh oh oh, it seems like such a long way to go
As obstacles get bigger, prevailing winds blow stronger
And the fire continues to grow
Don't let shallow water limit your perception
