Comment from BrentSisson
I like this creation of yours, what is included in the composition and the seagulls counter balancing the humongous wave crashing down. I see the blue of the sky, but the color blue is not prominent which may or may not be of significance in a "color blue" contest. Regardless, I think it a marvelous image. I love the boiling sea, the power of the monster wave, and the unique and handsome rocks standing resolute in the storm. Really nice piece. Good luck in the contest. :)

Very well done ! I love the scene, the framing is very well done, the rocks with the water slowly falling over them, the seagulls in the sky. Great color and detail, very well blended. Nice work! :)

I don't know that much about digital painting if I'm honest, but this is very effective and dramatic. Very nicely done.

Hello

Good composition and strong feeling projected. You can actually feel the water rushing in and about to collapse onto the pilings in the lower right.

Colors are very good, especially the dark pilings. Small birds in the sky add feeling of movement to the story.

Thank you for sharing this story.

Beautiful, dramatic picture. I can almost hear the roar. The colors are beautiful. The sense of motion brings one right to the shore. Great job.
