The way to realize the watersurface.
Take a long white empty workspace.
Then take a cloudbrush and flatten the brush.
Draw the clouds as shown in the long new image.
Justify the intensity with the "curves-tool".
Copy and paste the clouds on an image and set the blendmode to multiply.
Then stretch as shown.
