I used the picture of Gina’s husband scuba diving and added clouds because I thought it would look cool with clouds in the water. This is how I did it- (Layer>Duplicate Layer)- (Filter>Render>Clouds)- Change the Blending Mode for the cloud layer to Screen. Then I Add a Reveal All Layer Mask to the cloud layer, (Layer>Add Layer Mask>Reveal All)- Then pick a good sized paint brush and simply paint black anywhere on the Mask where you don’t want clouds. (Which is the majority of the photo). Then you should have a nice picture.
Chris, I had not initially noticed the addition of the clouds until I read your description, to me it felt like there were simply numerous bubbles in the water around the swimmer. Now that I take an informed look, I find it very clever that you use the Juxtaposition of air elements and water elements within this piece to create a very compelling feeling of swimming through the sky.
