This is very well created, it's interesting to study, regardless of the inspiration for this piece, it's very well illustrated , the two captains are doing what they feel is right and decent, as most of us would do, I like the way you used the grey scale for their faces and bodies but applied color to their hair and wardrobe, I especially like the way you creatively show the split of these two women, with the binoculars, each side showing a different view, and it's half of each of the women, that is intriguing , I like the way you have arranged this . Well presented!

I totally love it when art makes a statement such as yours. Beautifully executed. Great social piece. So important to tell their story and a wonderful medium for doing so. Well done.

You are an incredible artist and you have a great way of telling a story and getting your point across in your work. I didn't know about this incident and it is just appalling to me. I think I'm going to look up more information about it. But back to your drawing, the colors are great and I like the black and white and then the colors. The composition is amazing and you didn't make it look too cluttered which can be hard to do. You are getting my first six of the week!

What an excellent piece of art that is both stunningly rendered and composed along with being stunning social commentary. Your attention to detail is amazing and the reflections in the binoculars makes quite a visual and emotional impact. Excellent work.

Excellent depiction on the situation -now would people be really informed and not miss informed by the media about the real causes this would not even need to happen that some people feel the need to go against laws and rescue people - which is a good thing as once they are on the ocean it has to be dealed with but rather to bring them back as to let them die. I will not mention the real cause back stage it is too horrendous to believe but those who know are spreading few after few the message
excellent story telling picture , super detail work - excellent color range and use of space - awesome job
