For the locals, the yearly floodings were nothing more than an inconvenience. However, the beauty of the city could not be more pronounced.
I have always loved the look of cities like Venice with waterways. This flooded city look was too fun to leave alone, and I wanted to attempt it. I might go back and spend more time making the building more realistic, but the reflections in the water were the main focus. I am very happy with the tone and feel of the final result.
