As you’d expect, the first task was to remove the stand using content aware fill and then the clone stamp to tidy up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added a colour dodge layer to add brightness to the trident. On the same layer I very slightly increased the brightness of aqua man’s face and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added a lens flare – using a brush – just behind the main character and then masked out the unwanted areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s now time to add the sharks. I used the same sharks as for Ocean Master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I added more sharks and was much happier with how they came out after using the transform tool. I also added a brightness adjustment layer to make the sharks blend in better with the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My final steps in photoshop were to add some sparks at a low opacity and some bubbles underneath aqua man’s feet. It was then back into Lightroom. I decided to crop it to 4 by 5 and add a little vignette. And here you have the final image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you like the final image. Let me know what you think and if there is anything you would have done differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
