Re: Am I there yet?
Thanks for the suggestion Stan. I still have the layered version up on the screen and reducing the opacity of the face doesn't work. I also tried increasing the contrast of the face and that didn't work either. Because of the original shot I had to copy the left hand side of her face, flip it and join it to the existing left to make the face symmetrical, so there was quite a lot of work even before I did the arty stuff.
I think one of the problems is that she is smiling - a more sultry look may work better. I think I should take a shot with this end result in mind maybe.
Here is the starting shot:

Re: Am I there yet?
This is great work Colin!
There is only a couple of things I would have a look at and that would be to make the face the same blue as the splashes and to make the face translucent?Chris

I'll have a play and come back to you.With kind regards,

Re: Am I there yet?
Is it possible to merge the edge of the face more with the background and the surrounding splash removing the outline of her face a little more. Not sure if that makes sense?Di ~ Trying to take "the" photograph.
