The water would be reflecting the color of the sky...

As CMYK46 said...
Otherwise, great job!

as both said..and put a little blur on new boat shadow,and distort shadow

As mentioned the sky reflection is missing and the boat shadow is too sharp. The added boat is quite blurry in High Res too. Also you need to show how the sky was made, if they are brushes then you must supply the link to the brush set as they become a specific source.

How did you do the lightning and the other boats?

added boat need to be a little more bigger... otherwise good job

Very nice! But where did you get these boats?

As CMYK46 - & should see lightning reflection in water -

beautiful colours

good luck

Good luck.

the reflection of the additional boat is to flat.......also, it has no shape to it like the others.

Good luck!

Ok thanks here's a remake

the reflection is HUGE! lol. nice work though, good luck!

Thanks Ivstealth I don't know how I missed that I took care of.Thanks

isn't it 'explosion'?

lol. Thanks KingRafox...Thats what happens when your tired and in a rush.

good luck

Good luck.

so nice , i like it

Great job!

Nice work , but author when you use the soruce only u need to make SBS(step by step)

u used carefully the brush tool with the shadows in the river

Looks like a real oil paint xD

Author, you are able to post SBS on your works and a hi res upload as well (you have more time in this site than me, you aren't a newbie anymore... )

The author can't post SBS in 2 reasons:
1. There are no steps, just work (or one step: Using Brush)
2. He didn't draw a picture by him self, but he used a brush in Photoshop CS5, witch is still beta, to mix the color of the picture.

If you search the internet you will know Photoshop CS5 does it just like this. And another one: If he was a beta tester, he wouldn't be posting it for contest or to earn something (if not money, then points), because the Adobe rules are restricting that stuff! If he is not a beta tester and does not know the rules, there is only one fact: He downloaded a leaked torrent of beta software. If you don't believe me, lets just say I'm a beta tester and I respect the rules.

Every thing u just said is 100% true expect the download torrent thing.
And btw it's not your busniesS!

Hi res would be nice

Then you broke the rules... It's not fair that beta testers can do it in CS5 and normal people can't. P.s. Adobe set those rules because they gave you beta for free and the Full Edition will cost, so that's why you're breaking the rules, It's a virtual crime... And I don't say it's my business, I'm just saying that you shouldn't done that in CS5 beta, simply not fair, get a life.

OUCH!!!

very nice painting... i mean - entry))) gl author

Good work.

Try to work on the selections around the trees, they're very soft.

Nice try as far as the concept is considered... Although, giving some ripple effect around the splashes that you've made in the water might give it a bit of life. And IMO, you can show some different watery creature instead of the shark. You won't see a shark in such shallow waters, isn't it?

Thanks Matteo and ktn185 , i worked a bit on the trees and i added the ripple , hope its better and ktn185, this contest isn't about realism, so putting a shark is better IMO

Awesome!

Its a good idea but you should work on the colors, selections and fitting together. Overall its ok.

Cool...gl author

i think id like it without the shark

the shark is funny XD

you would used a real whale...imo...good luck

good,
the drawing is a little sharp for BG

nice done

Good luck.
