Description
I was really drawn to the original castle 'room' stock, and I thought that I saw water on the floor (like a way to enter the castle with your boat), but I was wrong, and it was a normal room (with weird lighting, so I'm not crazy), so I decided to put the water in myself... so ha.Like purple?? I DO!!

Yay!
...by the way... I'm still a beginner at manipulation, STILL LEARNING!

nice work for just beginning. my main advice would be to really focus on masking. there's various techniques to help integrate objects more smoothly into the scene, rather than them looking "cut out". layer masks and selections made from alpha channels seem intimidating at first, but they make a huge difference, and aren't really that hard.
good luck

Uh... thanks! But, how exactly do you do that? And would you mask the layers after everything in manupulated, or before?

layer masks are applied to each layer. they use black and white areas to define transparency. so you can really have detailed control over how your objects etc sit on the background. i would take a look here to get a better idea of how they work.

also just play around. it's important to use things like blending modes and lighting to make sure the pieces don't seem out of place.
kind of hard to describe without showing photoshop examples, sorry.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately I have a really old crappy version of photoshop(at home) that doesn't have the mask tool. Although I could try it (at school on CS2) anyways to see if it helps. 
Thanks again. Much appreciated!
