Yay! First picture I've fully-colored on PhotoShop Elements! :D

I plan to add in the rest of the water effects (ripples, waves) soon; I just happen to be a bit busy right now (I'm supposed to be studying for mid-terms).

I'm pretty happy with how this looks, though the way the transparency and blur tools work on PhotoShop Elements is obnoxious. I preferred PhotoImpression's blur tool, where you could literally drag the mouse to blur an image in the way you wanted. I would've also liked to simply put a transparent rectangle of the water's color over her reflection (that would've made the coloring more consistent), but as far as I know, there's no way to do that in Elements. :(

Now I have a (vastly improved) version: [link]

For critiquers; I purposely do not shade. I don't shade on any of my art; I like the way flat coloring looks more.

Despite the in my opinion missing shading, I'd say you've done a great job at this, especially the reflection.
