Love the overall feel. Suggestions: In the high res, your ships are quite blurry compared to the rest of the image. I'm not sure what you can do without changing you sources images (obviously not preferable), but they are noticably out of focus. Also, the front ship is partially transparent where it meets the waves. This is okay for the waves in front, but looks a bit peculiar for the waves behind. Good job and good luck!! Reply »

I really love the picture though in reallity open ocean never breaks in such a neat parrallel to the horizon, that ship would be in a billion bits on the shore... though it only effects us peeps that live near/on the ocean..(My two cents because of the dedication to realism in the image) GREAT WORK Reply »

Over all I like this entry. In high res the wtaer is very sharp, while the people are blurry...maybe a slight gaussian to the water layer to even things out? Reply »

IMHO you would have been better off using a real stormy sky. This looks like just what it is: a bunch of brush stamps. Good color work on the water. Reply »

The light on the big ship seems to be coming from the right, the source photo has a left-side light source, and the bright spot in your clouds suggests possibly a third light source. I think this would be more dramatic if the big ship's sails weren't so bright. Reply »

Nice! The waves around the ship could be better, now it looks a bit as the ship is being dropped. Reply »
