Great angle here of the composition. Lovely tones which don't interfere with the suttle parts of the image. Great work and thanks for sharing this on fan art review

First of all I think this is a cool and colorful creation. I totally understand why you didn't crop out the excess. The boat form against water and sky is great. The Shading is good. The details is good. The blend of the colors is great. I'm just confused over one thing..is this boat flying in the air? Even though it is in a slight slant indicating that it is make a turn but there is no waves..not a ripple. It could have given it that extra ump that would pull out those 6's stars that it would have deserved. Still creative work and good job overall

    Thanks so much for viewing and commenting. The trimaran is dry on a sandbank.. The sandbank is not flat but like a small hill therefore the boat has tilted. The water has gone out. People use this area to clean the bottom of their boats. We are also on a sandbank looking at this that is how I painted Twilight. But we are on a flat bank and perfectly straight. The sandbanks shift and move shapes so often a boat will tilt until the tide comes in.

This is a lovely painting of my most favorite time of day, the Twilight hour. I call it God's last painting if the day using His sky as the canvas. I live the soft colors and the framing if the porthole. I don't think your photo does your painting justice as focus is a tad soft and the crop is tight.
The water color and highlights are beautiful.
Lovely painting ;)

    Thank you for reviewing. You are right about the photo not up to scratch. The painting is in Portugal and I am in the UK. The comp came up and this was the only record I had of it on my mobile. I did try and sharpen it but it was not so good so left it .. bad timing for the comp may be I should have waited for next time round.

    I was not pointing it out to be critical. Artists here have to paint and learn Photography.. I just do Photography.
    I can see it's a lovely painting despite the crop and soft focus.
    No worries Brenda ;)

    Yes I know .. I took it as a positive and find the photographers on this sight so helpful. I now look for so many possibles when I take a shot that might improve things that I would never have thought about. Hints that are really useful/helpful.

    Thank you for reviewing much appreciated comments. This is in Portugal and I am in UK at the moment. Would like to have taken another photo for this to get the porthole more in sight.

This is awesome! I love the porthole used as framing for your beautuful scene, the Twilight positionined in a tilt in front of a spectacular sky and on the water that is reflecting that sky in a lovely way. This is very well created with wonderful details and colors that are so very well applied. This is beautiful work! Best wishes to you in the contest!
