Wanted to try a couple of new tools in photoshop, so I brought out the camera and the new Steelfish.

This was the result. Most of the work is in the logo and the liquified mirror - the watch itself was pretty straight forward :D

...comments and ideas for improvement are very welcome :lingsrock:

Thank you guys :lingsrock:

...yes the water splash is real:
I put the watch in the bottom of a black bowl (for salats and such), and placed it in the sink below the dripping water tap. Set the camera on a medium/large aperture, and low shutter time, using a flash. Then I started shooting until I got the splash effect I was looking for (one where the was quite a big splash, but where the 'Breitling' name was clearly visible).

It took about 30 pictures to get it. Please note that I did not "time it" - It is impossible to press the shutter button in the exact split second (for me anyway), so it's more a matter of keep going until you get the right one by luck (or effort really)...
