My first half second reaction was 'WOW!'
Then on closer looking I realized you have potential gold here but there's more work to be done before it is actual gold. Your source of the ship is great and I would have left the front part of the ship in the chop.
IMHO you should give this chop a couple more hours, enhance the blending of the waves, play around with color settings and try to add more sources to tell a story.
You could for instance use a radial blur on the bottle, I suppose this is an eye of the storm, add a couple of things flying around, to create a more chaotic look (remove the birds, they do not fly in storms).
I see great potential here and hope you will spend some extra time in this chop to make it great!
Not voted yet because I want to wait and see what you can come up with in the end, hope others will also.

Fantastic. Great thoughts... Ill give some of this a shot, check back in a few days. Thank you
Very nice, indeed! Looking forward to seeing those improvements you'll be working on (Holding my vote for later too, I'm pretty sure it'll be worth the wait!)
IMO reverting to something like Step 3 would be an improvement, with less yellow in the water, and not so much of a confusing dark mass in front of the bow. This can be a great image with the right tweaks.
Adding the broken glass really makes this work now. My only problem is with the line where the wave meets the hull of the ship, and I still think the water looks better in step 3, but it's a well made and imaginative image.
First version is more to my taste. (the one stored in the SBS.) The chunks (and I know they are suppose to look like broken glass) just don't work for me. They kind of look like debris that wasn't deleted/erased from another photo. But who knows, I'm completely loop the loop. Still a great chop
I think you have been doing a lot of work to better this image. For me, the flying glass looks ok, but not so sure about the water... is it me...or.... well, nice work, your changes look good.

i wasn't to fond of the sharper water, i thought it didn't present enough "movement" so i went with the blur(s). Thanks for the comment George

Author I think you've put the url in the wrong box. The link works when I copy and paste it but not when you click on it.
I'm afraid I have some bad news about the source, it's under a Creative Commons No derivative works license. That means it cannot be modified, remixed, transformed or built upon. You always have to check for the CC symbol with an equal sign (=) in a circle, it means no derivative works.
I did find an almost exact match for the source here:

I hope you can correct your image, I'll ask the Contest Moderator to give you some time before sending a warning.

Wow! I guess the way i viewed the image i thought attribution was all i needed. That totally sucks! (*starting to tear*) ,..... But wait.... That image link you suggested is exactly the same,.( i viewed it as an overlay,... a lil distort filter and... Vwuallla... However the launch platform has some differences but,,,,.... I guess its cool enough to put a "LiL" more work into. *wink, wink* Im on it.... Update in a few days.
Don't feel too bad, I've made the same mistake, many others have also including mods. It's definitely worth the fixing IMO. Don't forget to change the source link. Good Luck!
Great scary scene but where is the "someone" being scared?
Obviously hiding under the bed.
Good chop but, as Skyangel has said "Where is the someone... "
From the theme: Make us a chop which shows someone being scared in bed and why they are scared.
He's under the bed! What would you do?
I'd hide too, thank you
The positioning of the spider is perfect. I'd hide under the bed too.
Congrats!
Congrats Buzzy
Congrats buzzy.
Howdie stranger!
