Description
Blimey, this one was a tough learning curve and a lot of hard work. My only real objective was to create seas that were stormier than the ones in my 'Dangerous Passage' image from yesterday.
Thanks must go to grafikeer for his tips on creating big waves, e-brink for help on sea spray, JedSwindells for his 'ketch' model and photostar for the use of his terrain. The lighthouse was modelled by myself.
Postwork in Photoshop took care of the brightness, sea spray, lens flare, lightning and the driving rain.
Any comments are most welcome.
Enjoy ... Tony :-)

Wow Tony this is awesome! If there ever was a perfect storm this is it! Excellent all around and a new fave!
It has taken quite a bit of sheer ability on your part, Tony to bring all of this together with such finesse. This is magnificent in every aspect. The seas, driving rains, rocking of the ketch and the atmosphere. Kudos and bravo to you. A definite fav.
I must say that I liked 'Dangerous passage' for what it was - a ship edging carefully through an awkward channel. But this new image of yours is superb! Very well done indeed! It is great to see new talent coming on so fast! Willing to reach out and ask questions of both the world and themselves. Bravo!!!
Awesome scene and well worth your perseverance!! The sea and the waves are excellent as is the rain and lightning!! Just perfect!!
