Extraordinary image with such gorgeous colors and shapes and very well composed in the frame. Very creatively and skillfully presented. Impressive image and fantastic digital work. A pleasure to view!

This is stunning! Love your textures, patterns, and gradient/opacity variations...Not to mention the AWESOME fish! The whole thing is so colorful and so well balanced, it would make a killer blacklite poster! Beautiful work!

Comment from David Ruhl


This is beautiful and amazing work Shawn (worth a 6 if I could).

I love that it is abstract, yet still obviously a representation of a coral reef.

Awesome variety of colors and shapes!

Comment from MissCuriosity


I'd love to give it 6 stars :) love the colours and small detail in this work. The fish looks so great and the bubbles are amazing. Said this, I realised that the square crop is not working for me.

i don't generally review these kinds of works because i have no knowledge upon which to base a critique of art such as this. however, even without knowledge i certainly know when my brain says "MAN, THAT'S FREAKIN GORGEOUS! and my brain just said such :)

The colors are beautiful, offering a full array of tones. They are vibrant and offer contrast.
There is a wonderful variety of texture from the bubbles, to the swimming fish skeletons, to the smooth shapes.
good repeated patterns giving rhythm to the picture.
good choice of a vertical format.
Like the different facings and levels of fishes. Where they are placed contribute to a good comopsition.
You've achieved a balance in your picture, with mass and colors well divided.
LIke how there are layers so we see one thing through another.
really a magical world you've created. It's wonderful

Comment from Echo7


Superb piece. Fantastic array of textures & smoothed lines. The fish have been rendered very well & your placement of them is superb.

Bursting with vibrancy & still maintaining a strong flow. Extremely complimentary.

Warming tones & the movement in your waves is very good. The depth is striking & adds a real 4D look. Well done. Very good.

Nice work!
WOW! This is really pretty! I love all the vibrant colors. This looks like something hard to do and I bet it took you a long time to do it. Very good job!
