very nice! I would only work on his "boots" more

nnãããããããa.... sorry

I had to look at your step by step guide to really understand what i was looking it, overall i like it, but there are a couple of kinks that you could work on, such as his boots as Akasha mentione. Good luck

you know...i had the idea to do something just like this image ...but you beat me to the punch and you know what, im glad you did i wouldnt have done a job near as good as this one and just seeing it makes me want to shout for joy because if this image doesnt get 1st place, id be heartbroken.

Thanks a lot everyone for your comments. @ mariosilva : sorry about what??

Nice job with the textures...please post a link to the background source.

just beautiful all round.. good luck on this author.. (if there was a picture in the dictionary that describes level.. this image would be it LOL) it so perfect it make my computer feel crooked LOL

Yep, a nice image indeed, just fix the reflection - it should be more "flat" and a little disturbed by the waves.. Have a look at boats' reflections in shallow sea waters. Good luck!

wow i love tis image great job author!

First class textures & composition maybe add a bit more light to the edges of the sails & mast...

Very nice job Author........G/L Author.

Nice work

nice image.. but the reflection is not right, compare it with the reflections from the stones in the water, that should help. nice work btw

You should have used the original background. The symmetry kills this...

What do you mean? I did some adjusts with liquify to make it look like the front part of the boat, it's not so different from the back part anyway and i think the perspective is fine.

I'm talking about mirroring the mountain in the background when the original background was better. The symmetry is distracting. The rest of the pic is just fine.

Oh i thought u were talking about the boat lol i didn't like how the right mountain looked so decided to clone the left one with some lil differences.

Beyond the above opinion about sysymmetry (mater of opinion) you have done a beautiful job with this high mark from me

I've made the right mountain a little bigger and flatter with some irregularities, hope the symmetry feeling is way less now o.o

cool background

beautiful! I wish I was there:P

Nice mood, the shading around the bottom of the boat is a little harsh though, but the rest looks great.

Very nice use of source... looks fantastic!

PL ^^ hehe looks nice gl

hope you have a license for this thing... very good work... like the reflections...

looks like an old classic car!

very creative image! looks great hi res isnt bad...!

well done... i wonder how many knots per gallon you can get
