could do without the stones + splash i think. th sun seems a little round and
bright for this time of day. good otherwise.

From darwallace@earthlink.net:
Some texture variety on the ships might have helped some, but a good image.

=====
From pbourke@swin.edu.au:
A very nice feel to this image, good use of colour, nice waves.
The splash of water needs some work.

Why do people always exagerate the gold in sunsets.
I guess that's what you love in susnsets...

From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:
Nice work... like that ambience.  The light on the sails doesn't seem right...
the spray looks a bit artifical (straight).

=====
From tony@j4tb.com:
Your spray effect look more like fog. You might try several(100) placed spheres
for better effect. Great techniqe on lightsource. I will have to try it.

Oh, I think you succeeded alright.  Absolutely stunning.

I can't help it--I loved the glowing sails. Although this picture would
probably never exist in reality, it is a beautiful and imaginative
drawing, with wonderful colors.  Lovely!

From Alain.Culos@bigfoot.com:
Not bad. The contrast with the sun is pretty good.
The wave splashing is better kept dark :-)

From StephenF@whoever.com:
Good use of color... the sky looks very nice.  The ships 
have a metallic look to them which is pretty cool, and 
the shaping is nice.  I think the scene would have 
looked much better without the spray effect... it doesn't 
look that realistic to me and really detracts from the 
overall look of the scene.

=====
From sjlen@ndirect.co.uk:
Great scene but totally spoiled by the spary and splashes in the foreground, 
they look so unrealistic compared to the rest of the image. 

=====
From delfeld@mailcity.com:
Not really failed or succeeded. . . the symbols are all there, but the linear
composition and centeredness of the sun make it difficult to view after the
scene has been understood.

From file:
The color palette is very pretty, and I like the viewpoint near the rocks.
Somehow the ships seem out of scale, like models, though.
