Hurry!! It's catching up to us! Excellent detail. Good motion effect on the waves and rain. The silhoette of the sailboat against the flash of lightning stands out nicely. You have really captured the sense of urgency here. Great job!

I really like the tumultuous brewed and dramatic undertones of this creation. Great portrayal of movement, fury in the restless waters as well as a midnight foreboding. The lighting bolt screams of energy flowing through the frame captivating the senses.

Dramatic picture with lots of atmosphere, I like how the boat is silhouetted in the composition. The lightening strike really brings it to life and adds interest.

Thanks for sharing

Nice work. I like the moodiness of the colors; the rain/storm is very believable. I think the ship might be a bit more believable if it wasn't consistently hard edged. Nive work; thanks for showing it.
