Amazing!! The colors and lighting are very life-like. I can feel the heaviness of the water just looking at this.

Wow I like marine painting. I like this, but maybe if you make more contrast between object and the background will be better.

odontocete In reply to Fdjohan19 [2011-10-18 14:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for the comment! My intention was specifically to create the effect of the orcas blending into the water, as I love the imagery of them being part of the marine environment, rather than making them "pop out" at the viewer.
