Made this duck look like it's made of metal using the curve adjustment tool. then using the blending mode I gave it an Bevel & Emboss a Drop Shadow and Gradient Overlay to make it look more shiny.

I call this white water. I went to the channel layer in photoshop and click one of the RGB layer to select the water. Then I grabbed the brush tool and paint it white while changing the blending mode to soft light, I think.

I first picked the text and gave it a stone texture. Then with the Blending Option I gave it an Bevel and Emboss. Then I use the Color Overlay to make the stone look red. After that I gave it a gold stroke. After using the Blending Option I used the elliptical marquee tool to make the upper half white. Then I gave it the blue light.
