This is a fantastic image
Wonderful glowing colours which you have translated into excellent lighting - so no wonder the title... a nice optical 3D effect too.
very beautiful
Cathy this one is wonderful, what a great looking merman
Nice work! Love the underwater feeling that this has.
Awesome creation,Cathy. I love underwater scenes, not easy to do,though. Is that Poseidon? Great p/w.
Lovely composition Cathy! Such a tremendous royal blue color! Rich and tasteful, emanating with the most loveliest of atmospheres and glow! A real treat for the eyes..... Love the character as well!
Wonderfully creative artwork, Cathy. I love the way you've integrated the fractals into the scene, and the illumination is masterful!
DEAR CATHY , WONDERFUL SCENE & BEAUTIFUL WORK :)

Very beautiful composition and work my dear friend, love it.

Very nice scene. Great colour and lighting! Well done.
Fantastic scene and work.
Nice depth and colors. As usual beautiful scene!
WOW ! Fascinating glowing scene !! Amazing artwork !!
Very beautiful and serene atmo in this magical image!
Looks like you're having fun. What a great way to learn. Appears to be a black-lite in the sea. Great job incorporating the fractals into the scene.
YOur fractals make a stunning underwater seascape for the merman! I love how you've created the luminosity, it adds such a mysterious and awesome touch this scene!
Wonderful image Cathy!
you gotta know, whenever I hear the word "merman," I think of Ethyl. (Not the tone you wanted here, I realize, but whaddya gonna do!) (Ev-ry-thing's com-ing up ro-ses...) Anyway...I like this whole series; you get an immersed feeling in hue and execution, and the plants, here, have a Rousseau-like feeling (the painter), and the red is a touch of pure intuition as are those luminous fish (love 'm!). I assume that's Neptune, and I love the big blue swirl and all the darker 'faded' swirls that move around & behind him. Really nice concept & design. And good framing too. (Just in case you don't know Rousseau, here's a typical image: Here. Double click.)
Very cool FX on this one. Again, though, my eye was drawn to the background, which looks very, very cool. Well done!
Oh dear.... the color in this render are like magic! Wonderfully done....
