Wow! This has real impact. Great colors. I love the wide angle. The contrast in colour and textures between the sky, the water and the beach is just stunning.

It's going on my faves list!

Great vision putting all this together. Nevermind the negative comments about digital art, to each his own. Grats on a great image and score.

Comment by Haneck:
I love it. This is awful to see images like this miss out on higher scores, because they're almost digital art?

And...maybe I'm going a bit too far by saying this, but personally, I'm not sure I understand why people get upset over "digital art" images. I think that expert editing challenges voters should be open to the digal art stuff. Just because it isn't strictly photographic in nature doesn't negate the fact that it's a beautiful, shining image... Photoshop editing is a skill, too, right?? :)

But anyways, stunning image. I love all the layers of colors, elements, and I guess I am a sucker for fantasy-type stuff on top of it all. Keep up the excellent work! :)

OMG! whoa whoa whoa. This is amazing. Although this is probably the use of super expert editing, but still it's wow.

Looks more like graphic arts then a photograph. I don't know, taking the expert editing little bit to far for my taste.
