reflection of water onto someone’s body doesn’t happend always. it depends how the light shines.
the wave frequency of the women’s reflection is EXACTLY the same as the water (since i mapped the water).
the studio lighting on the women… i agree with you. the halo you mention is the poorly selection i made to isolate the girl from the background. it wasn’t a tutorial about selections and lighting, only about water reflection.

“Pretty close to reality, donâ€™t you think?”
It looks unrealistic to me for a few reasons.
There is no reflection off the water onto the womans body. The wave frequency expressed in the distortion on the lady’s reflection is much tighter than the wave frequency of the water, and there is very obvious studio lighting on the woman (including a key light halo)
