In my limited time on here I haven't seen you do a piece quite like this. This is a wonderful composition with great contrastingelements and atmospheres which is always something which catches my eye. The dramatic sky with its dark clouds, lighting and fading sun adds turmiol to the piece - whereas the tranquil effect of the boat on the water is serene with great lighting. I particularly like the movement of the boat's shadow, very effective

Fantastic. It is not just the blue (my favorite color) that attracts me to this. You have created a delightful moonlit mood. The clouds are great anddance over the water. The reflections in the foreground make the photo sing. Good show.

    Thanks a million, Bill!! I don't think you meant to say "photo", did you? :) Thank you for the super review.

    Right, I get confused when something is listed as digital art done on a computer, because I assume it all starts with a photo. I guess at my age you have to excuse me still living in the past. Whatever, you did a beautiful job and you should be very proud of it.

This is very lovely. You have done a great job creating this with the digital format. Nicely presented and the reflection with the water has turned out well.

Comment from Tahmina


1.It is a splendid piece of art capturing such a moment.
2. The composition, layout and colors are very creative and thought to perfection of the effect.
3. The sky is magnificient with choice of colors, shades and light and so are the reflections in the water.
4. The black color of the boat truly reflects the overall grim moment.
5. Only a little bit of smudge on the reflection of the boat, may be, BUT an electrfiying moment caught magnificiently!!!

Very nice! The colors are vibrant and work so well here! The calm before the storm is well imagined.

Nice lightning and clouds - It all comes together and makes me glad that I am on land and not on that boat!

Very beautifully done! I love the colors and the silhouette of the boat. I love the story of the big storm coming, it makes the view think about what the people in the boat will do. Great story telling with this picture. The contrast and lighting are great. Very nicely done!

Comment from Jorge Gaete


This is a dramatic piece of work.
The colors are perfect and the flow of the image is unreal.
Detail is great I love the boat reflection and high lights on the water.
The framing and depth is just perfect.
Living by the water I can appreciate this image and brings me home, been there done that type of thing.
Magnificent job.

I love this piece. The flow, color and mood. I really like the opening in the clouds, makes me want to sail into them. The lighting on the water is very calming. Really well done. Love it.
