The term was nuit américaine ("American night"), but you wouldn't normally get blown specular highlights doing it that way. | |

Look at the female model's cheek and forehead, or the knee of the reclining male model on the right. Even the reflection of the knee in the water is blown out. The entire water reflection appears to have been manipulated in from a different shot, the reflection of the male model seated on the left doesn't match the pose in this shot, especially his right boot and the shadows cast by his hands. I think the in-camera shot would be barely recognizable compared to the result. | |
