Comment from Angelheart The First
Now I am out of six stars for real.This is really different for you Shawn and your Orca is painted perfectly.I love the small fish that you added and the very decorative seaweed.The lighting is very good and I think this would make a great painting for a childs room.
Great work,as always Shawn.
Angelheart :)

You are in your element here. Fascinating colours. There is free movement in the artwork. No clutter. Lovely composition.

Nice creative work here with a good centre of interest. The detail is nice and the color tones look appealing to the eye of the viewer.

Thanks for sharing.

What strikes me the most is the atmosphere of peacefullness, a welcome relief...and I really love the way the sunlight streams through the water here. Lovely.

Beautiful colors and light. I love the ocean. I'm not very familiar with digital artwork or how it is created so I can't really comment on the technical aspect. It's a beautiful piece of art. Nice job.

I guess I have to be more careful with that and rate higher if I don't have a useful criticism to make. Nice work.

reply by the author on 29-Sep-2010

LOL. That's OK, WC. But, yes, a 4 means Good--but needs adjustments, and you didn't mention anything, so I'll take your super comments to heart :)

I'm new to the site, just start this week. Eventually I will get it right. I love your work and look forward to the next one.

WELCOME!! Hope you enjoy your stay with us, WC. One thing that might help you with the stars...under "Info" at the top of each page is "Frequently Asked Questions," the 5th question down may be of some help to you. It is FAR's standard rating system. At least it will give you an idea, and hope it helps. Again, WELCOME!! :) Shawn

Thank you - that definitely helps Shawn! In the short time I've been associated with the site, I'm very impressed with the artwork and it feels good to be a part of an artist community.
