this is fantastic! i love the reflections! how did you do something like this without a reference?? anything with water reflections just confuses me without a reference..

~Hideyoshi Jun 10, 2011 Professional Digital Artist

thanks!
reflections are pretty easy to do when you think about them logically. The horizon (water surface) acts as a mirror and reflects everything above it on the below. Then depending on the structure of the water, you get rippled or blurred reflections or both. And usually there are slight waves that divert the reflection so you see something else being reflected, perpendicular to what is facing the water. Or there is stuff in the water that blocks the reflection.
Lol, now it sounds very complicated after all

I am sure you can find good tutorials on the web...

haha easy for you to say ;D
I meant more the way the light from the water shines back on the rock above. I wouldn't have thought to do that, or how it would look if I did.

oh, that is actually the sky ambience reflecting on the rocks from the top but I took a lot of artistic liberty and boosted the saturation quite a bit there.
