I like that the reflections largely indicate that the text is sitting right on top of the water surface. And then you have this weird, non-euclidean, lowercase 'g' that completely demolishes the perspective.

The lower half of the g is actually folded in a 90 degree angle and lying flat on the surface of the water, which also explains why it has no reflection. Truly a photo manipulation worthy of a first place.

What are you talking about; this image is legitimately quite a good effect for early-days photoshopping. It's not perfect, but it's perfectly fine for a student project with an enjoyable result.
The pure audacity of the "g", which in honesty couldn't have had anything else done with it without becoming even more jarring and interfering with the readability, only adds to the impact. 10/10

Depending on when this was, that could have been pretty sophisticated. We wouldn’t think much of it now, but there was a time where I purchased expensive books on step by step instructions for wild text effects. We’d laugh at them now, but they were cutting edge in the 90s.

Removing backgrounds used to be a highly specialized skill that took hours, or plugins that cost hundreds of dollars. Same with eye and teeth touch-up. It's crazy how automated Photoshop stuff is these days.

Me neither. Especially with that g

Me neither. Maybe if you post the entire image instead of cutting off the bottom inch, there might be a clue.

if you look at the corners, they probably did post the entire image. It's the screenshot that crops
