Description time.. T_T I don't wanna.
About the wall:
It's kind of random, location wise. I just though a flooded checkered floor with koi living in it sounded cool. X3 And
it's fun to make water~
The scan was pretty clean, so I didn't need to vector or recolor the image, I just extracted it, cleaned it a little bit more and roughly positioned it in the middle, adjusted the colors A LOT because I didn't like how dark she was. I used the Inverted clouds filter - > Chrome filter to make water, using the liquefy filter to make some swirls and dips. I made rings on the waters surface, and put a rose, and rose petals, which I painted (X__X) from stocks. I snagged the koi from stocks, and painted those too, then added reflections on the water and shadows. I added some extra detail to it by drawing in water droplets on Miku's clothing, hair, rose, and rose petals. Also made the checkers, and changed their perspective with free transform -> Distort, to get the angle right. I added shadows to the floor, and used the maple leaf brush + dodge and burn tool to make the tiles look marbleized (though you can't really tell now.. XD) Then toyed with hue/saturation, and Brightness/contrast to add the final touches. ..I hope I didn't forget to mention anything. @_@
This took me the better part of two days. *dies of hand cramps*

KOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOI!
nothing else to add besides you used KOIII'S

I'm lost for words for the water... you did such a great job with the water esp because water is so difficult to design so that it looks crystal clear :D. it's a mix between real-looking and abstract., i like that. all in all the wall looks very neat and clean.

i hate you for being able to do water

I LOVE this wallpaper.
The colors are fantastical and the scan is so neatly extracted! I adore the floor/water/background. Everything is blended perfectly! Awesome job~ -
This is really cool. The water is so pretty. I've been trying to practice water effects and the cloud filter is a really good tip. Plus, the resolution fits my desktop :)
