Interesting... looks to me like you've taken a pic of girl coming out of the water and made it look like she's drowning. If that's the case, it works quite well. I particularly like the little splashes of water and scratchiness, makes it look like it was being take with a camera with a scratched lens that just got scratched.

Interesting stoofs.

and as the summer's ending,
the cool air will put your hard heart away.
you were so condescending...
and this is all that's left:
scraping paper to document.
i've packed a change of clothes and it's time to move on.

okee dokee, well the texture bit was horrible... it involved me spending a few hours in my dank basement looking for old paper and books. I have a lot of ancient trunks full of strange things, I found some paper, the more torn and stained the better. I scanned them at 1200 res so i could use them over really large images if needed. If I found a really good scratch or stain, i selected it, contrasted it, and made a brush of it. (once you've selected an image you go to edit: define brush) I've made textures of old books, leather, paper tears, cloth, handmade papers, tape, and lots of other odds and ends. And brushes from those textures.
for this image I just kept layering them on until i got the look I felt was right, also layered are several shots of water, some my own, some from inertia...
i hope that helps!
