Please post a link to the lightning brush.

Lovely atmosphere and nice illumination makes it very fascinating. Also the underwater part results very well made, but, in my opinion, it shouldn't be so wide; it gives emptiness to half of the picture.

#NICE! agree with rusvelt. the underwater szene have to be smaller, cause you can see the water surface from bottom in a wrong perspective! another point: the water line between underwater and upper part is way too linear. you need many small curves in this pic ...however, great lighting and blending skills!

I think the boat has weird shadows... if the light comes from right, there should be no shadow on the right side of the boat. Good luck, i love the mood and the blending :P

Aw, so sorry! I was thinking this was a theme one... wasn't paying attention to the contest's name.

#fresh update! best of luck

Another suggestion, because of the hot color temperature from the shiny sunset, equally the boat colors should be warmer, maybe more on the right side. It's just a suggestion, and my opinion. GL

Makes me want to dive in this sea! This work is very beautiful, very tasteful shade! Good luck, author.

strange shape the tails looks like a butterfly and I think that is nothing left in that seas because his face looks a little bored)))

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!! Beautiful work!!!

Pretty well done result, I like the rocks under water. The only thing that imo could do with a bit more attention are the endings of the branch. The part in the water is convincing, but the tops look a bit flat and unnatural. If you can copy-paste more of the original branch to make the smaller twigs, would increase the realism in the whole image. Good luck!

Thank you Waz.... I thought I had done something "weird" to the top of the branches. I will do as you say. Working on it right now.

Nice integration with sources!....Good image.

nicely done

It's a dangerous play!
Very natural work, well blended. GL!...
