This plane had crashed in one of the Great Lakes over 50 years ago. It was then found and raised and brought to the Naval Aviation Museum on Pensacola NAS base in Pensacola, FL. It was in a darkened exhibit with filtered lights 'waving' over the exhibit giving the impression of being underwater as the planes were when found. With the greenish lighting I used the ripple effect filter to convey the same impression in the image. Hopefully, it appears as if the viewer is in a submersible looking at the wreckage at the bottom of the lake lit by lights from the submersible.

Nice shot - Like the tones - Is this underwater? If so I would have liked to have seen more around the plane so the plane went into the darkness - It seems a bit too close and loses it's depth etc.
