There is something special about places where two elements or two opposites meet. They are a places where anything can happen, where anything is possible, they are magic and romantic, they may even transform us. I've always had a thing for mermaids. Maybe one day I will become a mermaid.

I took this image of the shells yesterday when I took some other still life images for photo manipulations I have planned. I've tried a few times to get the perfect combination of shells and the light falling on them just right and this time it worked (imho) perfectly.

The water and splashes were added. Below is the original image:

I like it and it's pretty but it lacks the drama of the eidted one. I added water reflections, textures, the splashes, colour adjustments and highlights/shadows to create the drama.
