Ahh that's why there's smoke! I see. Really excellent image! I love the choppy sea and the clouds which look as if there's a squall in the distance.

The ocean is perfect as always, and what I like the most he ae all shadows here and there on the sails. Terrific one, Ken!

Love those choppy waves and the sky is perfect. The only negative--and it is a very small one--is that the water around the whale would be much bloodier in real life than seen here. Having pointed that out, though, I have to say that this is definitely one of your best sea renders. Fine work!

An excellent render....I think Jeremy's right about the blood, but besides that it's top notch....
