Collage: Transparency

For this collage I wanted to show the different characteristics that a transparent object can have.  For this specific example I chose water.  Water, on its own is very transparent such as a in clear glass or in your hands.  However, when water is surrounded by other objects it seems to lose its transparent characteristic and begins to reflect its surroundings.  A body of water, whether the ocean, a lake, a river or any other body of water, reflects everything around it and from afar doesn't seem transparent but instead can resemble a giant mirror.  The transparency of water depends on what its surrounded by and doesn't always seem transparent.
