Steve a very beautiful sunset picture of the sunset over the sea framed by the silhouetted rock while in the sky the clouds are moving across the heavens like the tracing on a Cardigraph machine or the thoughts flying through a troubled mind such as Dali's...Beautiful & interesting composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

What an excellent composition!! I love the look of the sky. As I was going through the photos it pulled me in and I wanted to see more. The rocks framing the ocean waves are stunning as well. Absolutely out of this world.

Comment from CicaniStar


I like the concept, and execution of this piece quite a lot! While I cannot disagree that the sky is akin to Dali's work, I'm disappointed in the dark rocks as they appear. Dali wouldn't have been prone to leaving them be rocks! They might have odd faces on them, be a tied down rock shaped balloon, have holes throughout and be a colony to baby rocks! It's a great idea, but not quite complete in Dali's style, imho.

I'm impressed by your rich imagination and your ibility to see things differently (as IPhone 7). Every one is special and has different gifts/ talents. Your creation is much more than just an average photo. Perfect composition, great sunset colors! The highest raiting I can give! The deepest respect! Bravo capitan S!!!

Comment from John Kotalac


Man I love it. It's right up my ally. I'm drawn to the abstract sky immediately. It makes me want to recreate the scene on canvas in paints? That is if it would be ok with you. Thanks John. Thought you may get a chuckle out of this, the first time you reviewed one of my work you asked my to pass a message on and I thought you said something about being airborne. I thought to myself how the hell did he know I used to be airborne as well. All the way .

    Airborne! All the way! We will have to swap jump lies one day.

    Thank you for the Great review and Grand rating. Very much appreciated.

    Now let's get down to business:

    I would be honored for you to paint this scene. I think you are the Only One who could do it justice.

    So here's the deal:

    1. Give me your e mail and I will send this to you so that you will have a clean copy to use for your painting.

    2. Once you have completed your masterpiece, I would ask for you to send me a print of it Autographed by you. I will pay for the cost of a "Nice Print" that I can frame and hang in a place of honor in my den.

    Deal?

    P.S. It is easy to tell when someone has been to jump school. Only people who are 5 degrees off plumb would even consider such a crazy thing. Since you and I are Both 5 degrees off plumb it Takes one to Know one ; )

    It?s a deal . And I really appreciate it. When I finish it , I will send you the original. It will be on a canvas all ready probably 11x14 it?s what I have been using lately. It?s an honor thank you . jkotalac@yahoo.com

Wow this has a dramatic look - the sky is becoming a world by its own and the dark rocks look like the entrance to this other world - I love the boat far out - burning sky - the title is very intriguing as el Salvador has to come to enlighten the world
your artistic skills on photographs are outstanding - this was a nice sunset and you turned it into a piece of art looking like the first day after Armageddon still with the drama in the sky, awesome

    Thanks Paul. Ya I am learning that I don' know squat about PS. Man if I ever figure out 10% what it can do there is no telling what I can create. Time will tell.

    Thanks again for your review my friend ~ Chucky

    You'll be dead and buried before that day comes Chucky. The review was my pleasure
Comment from Malmax


Oooouu LaLa! I am mesmerized by this truly artistic sky. You have taken this one to another level FS, I truly applaud your beautiful work!
These colors, the liquification,
And almost thunderbolt appearance give this scene a phenomenal look. In addition to the beautiful sky, the rocks make me think of twin figures, each complimenting the other looking upon this vast and gorgeous horizon. The light is so perfectly contrasted, I just love this one! Kudos on this impressive artistic piece! It's what it's all about.

    Wow. I am more than honored by your eloquent review and grand rating VO/AM. I am so glad that you like it. It was one of those scenes that seemed to take on a life of it's own. I simply allowed it to manifest itself. Kind of cool how that works.

    Thank you again VO/AM ~ FS/PM
