Underwater

I can't believe I finished it!
This one's been sitting in the backburner for months; then I picked it up the other night, and now, just a couple of days later... it's done!!
I won't lie: I played around with the palette and the water effects (reflection or no reflection, light on the surface or no light on the surface, swirls and bubbles and spray and foam) so much, I probably created four or five different version.
But this one won out, because the palette is still somewhat warm, despite them being underwater. I might do a little step-by-step video, if anyone's interested?

and of course, we cannot release this baby into the intarwebz without the usual bunch of lyrics.

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under

And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak 
Now I am under all
