No Photoshop tricks here, this is an underwater shot, it was taken in a crystal clear salt water pool at about midday. It's entirely shot natural light which is why I wanted to shoot midday so that the light would cut through the water well, I was lucky the pool had a light bottom to help reflect the light back on her face. & yes, that flower is also real, it was clipped form a nearby garden just before diving in.
Post processing was minimal. Bump in vibrancy and clarity. Then re-sized & sharpened for screen. Nothing to it.

Wonderful concept, well executed. Love the hair flying around and the magical light patterns on the floor. Way too oversaturated though - would've loved to see more details in the pink flower for example.
