Scale down the perfume bottle by 65% by applying transform (Ctrl+T).  Rotate the bottle to -33 degree.

Change the layer blending option to hard light. From the layer style, apply outer glow. Size of glow to 15 . This will give the bottle a visibility.

To make rays coming from the top layer of the water, we need to do some exercise.

Change the Ice  brush to round brush.

Make the big size dot to 50 – 60px. In between make a small dot of 25 px, as shown below.

To make the Rays bringing light to the under surface, we need to make a mask.

Create a new layer above all layers and fill it with black color.

Draw a Shape as below with the Lasso tool.  Apply Feather with below setting.

Hit delete to remove the area.

Change the layer blending option to Overlay. Now you can see a dark area has been surrounded which makes the light beams more prominent.

To give a prominence to the product (Perfume Bottle) , just duplicate the bottle layer.

Change the layer blending option to Color Burn. You can see that the bottle is now more visible.

The final result will be as below.

Thankyou!

    Great Tutorial! The only problem is that the link to the bubble brush comes up with a whole search for bubble brushes on deviantART instead of the bubble brush you used. Could you please put up a link to the bubble brush you used? Thanks!
