Comment from Sean T Phelan
What a really pleasing image! :)
While I'm not anything of a 'dedicated fan' of these small cetacean creatures they ARE interesting and elegant aquatic mammals and your fine representation of them here,with it's Happy feel and it's smooth and pretty coloration,looks GREAT in my opinion!
Good Show!

One of the most special experiences of my life is a dolphin sighting, and this painting definitely takes me back to the Awe and joy of seeing these beautiful, graceful creatures. The water is very well rendered and the texture very nice. good luck in the contest.

How fun to paint a painting with so much life in it. The dolphins leaping, the waves crashing. You have done a wonderful job on this one.

Comment from sonah
Nice image, it has a peaceful yet playful feeling to it. I like that you have placed the image closer to the top rather than fully centring it. I feel this adds to the feeling of space/emptiness one can feel when looking at the endless ocean and the moment of surprise and joy when a dolphin breaks the surface nearby. However I feel the dolphin is missing a flipper, but it is still a good effort and nice image.

Nice idea for the contest! Certainly blue! Dolphins playing are fun to watch -- and you made a fun painting here as well. I like the curve of the wave --- that is echoed by the curve of the dolphin. I do wish there was more detail and contrast in this work however.

While this is blue, I really like it because of all the blue. Did that make sense? I especially like the curling wave in the front.
