Fantastic Photo Manipulations of Water

 

It covers over 70% of our Earth's surface and it's the most essential element to life. Water is so important to us, yet it's so easy for us to take it for granted. Today, we take a look at several digital artists who've created their own interpretations of it. Whether they're amplifying a splash or making full portraits out of water, these artists have a way of making us look twice, giving us a renewed appreciation for water's unique qualities. Their photo manipulations seem almost out of this world, morphing nature's most vital substance in ways we could have never imagined.
Here, then, for your inspiration, are the 20 most amazing photo manipulations of water.

Picturesque Rural Villa Outside Austin, Capturing Views of Ski Areas

We received a press release about a project designed by architects Lipkin Warner Planning and Design Associates and located just seven miles outside Aspen, Colorado. Here is the description we were sent: “The owners had specific goals: a warm, modern, luxurious ranch house with lots of entertaining areas, a horse barn and artist studio, capturing views of all four ski areas. Exteriors are of Pennsylvania lilac block cut stone, metal and pressure treated spruce. The interior is an open floor plan with Colorado sandstone and reclaimed Bavarian oak floors, acoustically designed wood ceilings and alder and wenge walls and built-ins, giving warmth to a modern design. The owner artists’ hand is reflected in custom furniture and wrap around fireplaces with mantles of glass, wood and steel provided by Andi-Le.

The owners’ mutual love of cooking and entertaining is reflected by the restaurant design kitchen, wine cellar and entertaining areas. Floor to ceiling windows and sliding floor to ceiling clad glass doors brings the magnificent views in and connects the outdoor living areas. Landscaping and water features assure absolute privacy. An open floor plan of this 6,200 sq.ft. home looks out upon horse pastures, 1400 sq.ft. barn and 1,000 sq.ft. artist studio where one of the owners designs and builds custom furniture of steel, acrylic glass, and wood. A full home audio visual system designed by Paragon Technology , a 1200 bottle wine cellar, music room, restaurant kitchen and three outdoor heated patio living areas, the home captures what Colorado living is about”. How do you fnd the overall design of this retreat?
