I like your reflections.

Intriguing with the odd elements, very constrained color palette, and dramatic brightness difference between the left and right sides, but in the end I just don't get it. While I see a 'path' (the railroad tracks, I assume), the 'sink(ing)' element seems disconnected from those tracks. The window thing encompassing the sink seems nearer than the far end of the tracks so I would expect some shadow from that window onto the tracks. The cut off corner on the window is weird.

Maybe shortening the title to just "Sinking" and making the window/sink element vertical and complete plus positioning it a bit more towards the left side of the image with a ground shadow would be a dramatic contrast against the left-side background and have a surrealistic appeal overall.

Makes me sit on the edge of my seat to see what Lundy comes up with... giggle snort.. great job author.. on a very difficult subject

this is amazing author
good luck
high vote and fav

Congrats for 3rd, nice one

very nice idea...i have few nit picks,hat is to close to ship to be big like this,with sky like this u cannot have lighting on ship and on sea like yours...try to fix that author because your work have potential...i will hold my vote...good luck

nice..

Yes, the ship should be farther away and smaller, but good idea.

i like it ! g l

At this point the ship is run aground; it must be added behind the last wave, resized smaller and got some blur for DOF. Idea is good, just needs these adjusts.

Thanks all for your comments and advice. Changes made..

nooo it's too blurry now! and the vignette is too strong.

Thanks elficho I wasn't sure about that. Think it looks right now.

Funny...this used to be alot better! You still have time author...change it back a few steps. Everything is still too blurry and the hat used to be alot sharper.

Foreground penguins are too desaturated, and there's a gray glob between the fet of the 2 center penguins. The polar bear blend is good...shadow could be lighter. Ice floe effect is nicely done...GL.

Thanks, CMYK. Just checked my files, and had corrected the spot by their feet and also brought up the darks. Guess I uploaded the wrong one and it's too late now.I kept the bear's shadow as it was in the original photo, but think I will change it on my copy anyway and see if I like it better. Thanks for you input. There are so many fabulous entries in this category, I almost didn't submit at all.

very nice
