In this photo I played with the coloring and the lighting to get the water to really pop out.
For this photo I focused on the coloring of the flower bud. In the original it is a light pink, I darkened the color a little and turned the back ground to a black and white. Since the little guy on the bud was already black I did not try to play with him!
This was the outcome of the two photos from below. I tried using GIMP at first but the tutorials were a little confusing at times so I switched to Photoshop to see the difference. I liked Photoshop much better, it was not as confusing, but I still had a hard time with cutting. It took several hours to try to cut out the cow, I'm not sure if I have a newer version but some of the tabs the tutorials wanted you to use were named differently.
