This is so cleverly crafted I don't know what to say about it. The very soft colours help to simulate the fantasy. The girl is so well melded into the scene. This is such an amazing creation and I love it. It deserves a 6+ and I don't have any. Truly a classic .

Well I had to do my research on this one as I am a student of great mythology characters. Her love for the dolphins was fascinating since i admire the dolphins intelligence.

Thanks for the great notes and this awesome piece of work.

An ancient character with a contemporary outfit. Love it. Very creative. Perfect for book cover. Extraordinaire conceptualizaton, story telling ability, and artistic presentation. Well done and is very entertaining.

I love the beauty of color and great DOF, very nice details, the texture and excellent composition, like very nice view of the moon and dolphins on background, and good frame. The notes are very interesting. Great job.

This is a very creative piece. I thoroughly enjoyed your notes. I have to admit I far prefer your more photorealistic work; this looks a bit CG for my taste. Nevertheless, you have assembled this with great skill. The colours really lend themselves to the theme. The composition is great. I love the fact that you are always willing to try new things.

    The photo was pretty realistic before I decides to make this scene. The original photo is of a Greek young woman walking into the water for a swim. Just thought a bikini was the right outfit for Amphitrete. LOL Thanks a lot for the review.
Comment from Linda Engel


thank you for the extended notes, enjoyed the story. this is a lovely composition with great depth and characterization. blues blend well into each other , good details in the female image. very good lighting. Why is this mixed media photography instead of mixed media art. Not questioning your label just what to know for my own knowledge since I still know little about what makes that classification

    It is mixed media photography because the original photo of a young woman walking into the sea for a swim was taken by me. So was the photo of the sky I have used for background. Mixed media photo means that you use your own photos and change it into something different. Art on this site is either digital or general like painting or drawing.

    thank you it clears up a lot. and thank you for explaining the difference. Now is this in a photo shop program you use to compose the two photos? Which one do you use?

Beautiful image. Are the girl and dolphin filtered from photographs, or drawn by hand? Very beautiful effects on the water. Good job!

Very cool, love the dolphins added in and the light colors, gives it a great light effect. This is neat, didn't know Poseidon had a wife!
