Creating realistic water ripples

As the title of the tutorial says we're going to create realistic water ripples in this tutorial. Start by creating a new file with white background color.

Select gradient tool and create a gradient light blue to white to dark blue.

Apply this gradient with radial settings on the background itself.
From Filter menu select distort>>zigzag.
Apply settings as shown.
From filter menu select Redfield>>Water Ripples. Redfield is a free third party plugin that can be downloaded from here.

Play around with settings till you achieve a nice water ripple effect.

 
Cool looking water ripples are created in just a few steps. Much better than using default photoshop distort>>ripples plugin.
