IF ...water

Harry Houdini wouldn't let anything tie him down, least of all water.  He dramatically escaped from a sealed milk can (filled with water), an Overboard River box, and even upside-down in a Chinese Water Torture cell.  
He was thirsty for fame, notoriety and love.
~~water the chances of that?

  4. Agreeing with the others! Great perspective, hypnotizing eyes. You've also brilliantly captured his wispy hair floating in the water. Very cool!

  5. What's also great is how your signature floats in the water, it helps the water look more realistic.

  9. Ha. he really does look thirsty despite being surrounded. I love the forced perspective and those needy eyes bubbling up the surface. The gradient works great too.
