Well here it is, with the promised changes. I studied some photos of ocean spray to try to get it looking right. Hand-painted grass one blade at a time with a mouse. My cheap tablet blew up about a year ago, I've got to replace it with a good one. Made the leaves on the big tree smaller and more numerous, I really like the way it came out, thanks to all who suggested that. I feel like it's ready for the gallery, but thought I'd give you all one more shot at it. The final will be larger and slightly higher res. John

Wow !! What a change. I know that doing the grass had to be a real chore but the result is certainly worth it! All of the vegetation is exceptional. The only thing I would change is a little more detail on the boat and maybe a rope to keep it from drifting off. It does not really detract the way it is though. I really love to see work that engages the viewer emotionaly. This is most excellent !!

I'm sorry you can't see the rope, LOL, it IS there, tied to the post to the left of the lower ladder. I'm sorry it isn't more easy to see, but I didn't want it to be eye-catching, just a part of the background. Since I wanted the boat to be a simple rough-hewn rowboat, I'm not clear on what you mean by detail. A seat, maybe? I didn't think rowboats had to have one, but maybe I'm wrong. There are no oars, because I figured he would store them inside so they wouldn't wash out of the boat and be lost.

Looks fantastic! The circling birds are great. Good job on the crashing waves.

There it is!! Yes, since you pointed it out I can indeed see the rope. I'm glad, since I was concerned that the poor man might suffer from further disaster. It will certainly be much clearer in a larger render, As far as the boat...I thought the texture makes the sides look all one piece, but that is pretty much how a simple roughhewn rowboat is I guess. I would give this picture my vote as it is without hesitation.

Very neat picture! Just pray for no hurricanes. ;c)

Man.... this is looking great Tjohn. I concur with macmondo in that I would give it a vote without having to think about it as well. Nicely detailed. I wouldn't change anything. Time for the gallery. 8) Wade

Wonderful!!!! Been staring a long time now.Maybe if it were mine I would not have the waves as smooth in the background.The way you did the gulls circling gives a real live impression, because of the different shades of color. IMHO one more thing...the smoke...it appears the wind is really blowing to create such waves,and to the left.OK enough critique,Awsome WIP
