This reminds me of the movie perfect storm. Wow how scared they must have been. You really captured the feeling or mood of this painting. Choice of colors blend well together for the appeal. Thank you for sharing.

That is a FANTASTIC picture.
You get the full effect of the STORM.
Nice job. The colors are awesome.
It's amazing how two or three colors can create such a cool pic.

love the mood and drama associated with this piece, the colours bring this motion to life, with the misty spray of the waves adding depth into the place of birds, very well blended, thanks for sharing.

Very attractive digital art . I like all the shades of blue that you have incorporated into this one. The spray of white waters is a nice touch with the birds in the mist. The textures of the waters really show the displacement of the water in a terrible storm. Overall excellent work. All the best in the contest. :)

I like the movement in this painting. The white water on the right bottom looks like white flames. Very nice painting. Thank you so much for sharing and good luck in the contest.

Fighting the storm is right! An awesome painting for the contest! I get the real feel of the stormy seas. I like all the colors i see in the ocean, representing the harsh storm. I see the two sea gulls overhead battling the storm too. The clouds are awesome. Great detail. I feel like I'm looking at a terrible storm. Good for you for getting this so perfect.

Love all the different shades of blue. Your blending of the blues is superb. The soft white clouds are a beautiful contrast, and so beautifully surrounding the two white birds flying so gracefully over the waves. Another great contest entry, that will be hard to beat. Love it! Katy

Great work Shawn you have brought the ocean in it's fury to life, you can feel the strength and power it produces.Your choice of color is really what tops it all off, the blue/to black with the misty spray looks forbidding.
The gulls add the final touch.
Fantastic work and good luck with the competition.

This is a lovely digital painting of a story in the oceal. I like the seagulls flying through the storm. The picture has good initial impact and is very interesting to look at.

Wonderful painting, I love the way you have presented the strength of the water here, seems like this moment I'm about to hear the waves crushing. Amazing use of colors and details, thank you so much for sharing this beauty.
