a picture is worth 1000 words? Water is clear for the most part, perhaps this is
bad example for an indoor tub, but I noticed the lighting in this outdoor photo;
tile is blue but the color in contrast shows the clarity.

Also couldn't get over the reflection and specular, once I got over the girl.


2 reasons I cut her out:
No one would look and the pool
I'd expect someone would have a cow


Anyway, take/find a picture, and you will see how close or far off you are.
Water; the ultimate challenge.
