Good works. Photoshopping is general, really. Some use Gimp, some use Paint, etc. The basic idea is a completely computer-generated and original image.
The water ripples is kind of easy as it only takes a few filters, but over and over.
I use distort/twirl and distort/zigzag-pond from center. To get the glossy look, I then use the sketch/chrome and then edit/fade, followed by some boosting with brightness/contrast.(The drop shadow of the main raindrop was added before the final twirl and zigzag) The sky is a dual gradient of blue and white then using the liquefy tool to soften into clouds.
I'm really impressed with the detail of the Mars dome.
