I really like the way you brushed this photo. It almost looks like an oil painting on canvas. The composition is excellent I like how the wave is curled and the contrast of water underneath makes it look.

Thank you. But this is not a photo. Truth I used several different photos as reference it is a digital painting done in ArtRage. I have to admit the painting is mixed in stile since I used oil and water color brushes as also the palette knife on a with the paint roller prepared canvas what is probably responsible for the "almost" look.
Sorry for responding late.

wow... a great entry for this contest. Love the way you've created the dreamy looking affect with the water. The rocks are beautiful. This shows lots of talent as well as creativity. Excellent tech work, lighting and interest. Wonderful, wonderful job.

A super traditional piece on this showing your creative talents with the composition & details you have created with the blends of colours from your pallet & the flair to create the power & verosity of the waves as they crash in on the rocks.~
Nice piece
thanks for sharing.~

great title and excellent digital painting. You have certainly painted a good image of the rough waves crashing in with the tide. The colors are very good and has a great impact. Good composition.Armymom

This is a nice piece of art with strong initial impact and nice color tones. The detail is good and the flowing water looks very nice like in a photograph.

The color tones look natural too and good luck for the contest.

Comment from Flight_of_Raven
This is a very nice piece of artwork, and I really like how the water is truly "flowing" in this piece. Soft lighting enhances the mood of the piece. The only thing that I think would make the image a little better is if the rocks were a bit more clear. As is, they are a bit blurry and prevent the eye from truly focusing in on them. Nice job overall, though. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so very much. I have to admit that the rocks aren't clear in purpose. The rocks are just frame for the water. They are wet and algae goes on some. The focus is on the water. You think that's wrong?

Wrong? No, it's always the artists' choice, I just find that I, myself, would have an easier time focusing on the image if there were a sharper anchoring point for the eye. Beautiful image, though.
