I like the simplicity of this picture, and also very much the limited color pallet. I also like the flying birds you have added, and the way the ocean is dark blue at the horizon and getting faded more and more towards the foreground.

The foreground reeds are standing out well from the ocean, and the placement adds depth to the image. The reeds are also done paying a very good attention to details.

The format and framing is perfect, and I think it is a fine balance in the composition. It is a lovely and well done digital painting Allan.

Thanks Annie, the water is really emerald color. I don't think I did it justice with this painting. But it is a great memory for my wife and I on our winter getaway for sure. Thanks.

I can totally understand why this part of the coast is your favorite, it looks so lovey - and peaceful!
This is a great piece of digital art, well done. I particularly like the grasses in the foreground, they're so realistic, I can almost see them swaying in the breeze. Nice one!
Charlotte

Very pretty! You have given us a lovely view of this emerald water in the soft grasses at the beach. I like how the colors are gradient, getting darker and darker to the horizon. I also like the sequels that you have included. The far away, puffy clouds lend a nice depth. Really well done, thank you for sharing!
