Today's Daily Texture is perfect for your sea, ocean and water subjects.  I chose to pair it with a couple of my white pelicans I photographed at a local lake this past fall.  I have so many photos of these birds, and they all start looking the same after a while!  By using a variety of textures/backgrounds I can turn them into something unique which doesn't look the same as everyone else's photos of the same birds. :)

Here I simply masked out the two birds and a small bit of the water under them.  The texture layer was underneath, and because of the coloring of the texture, it blended very nicely with my original photo.  I then duplicated the texture layer and put it on top of the image, setting it to overlay at only 10% just to give the colors a bit more depth in the final image.
