Description
Another digital painting basing on an old and rather clumsy photograph. Don't know why I did not erase it. Was it because of the color of the wave with the light coming through?
Thank you for viewing and commenting on my previous with an Antwerp street.

I'm glad you kept it; the colours and light in the water would have made me keep it too! I like what you've done here, it's a beautiful thing to sit and look at.
Astonishing work, congratulations on a beautiful image. Applause +5 from doarte's MADHOUSE
Thanks for sharing versus deleting. Super implementation.
Excellent effect.
Superb capture. God bless.
wonderful work !!!
SO glad we get to see this magical image, Nicolai!
A really stunning result of what you did to it. It looks like seals out in the water.
Love it!!
Yes, the light, the colors, and the wonderful composition. Sometimes the "bones" of a photograph are so good it just begs to be worked with. I'm glad you kept this one. The result is superb. It draws me in, makes me feel the waves, see the swells, hear the splash of water over partially submerged wood. Ahhhhhhh ... lovely!
I like it.
Marvelous creation... Outstanding work my friend !!!
BEAUTIFUL::::::::::::::::::::::light, colors, dynamic!!!
It must have been intuition - I would have kept it too, if it was mine ... you are the Master of recognition Nikolay and of no boundaries to an eccentric beauty, which we are seeing through your eyes - so, there is some light at the bottom of the ocean? ;) another brilliant image, as we are accustomed to it - what's next? - I can't wait to see ...

well the photograph before your treatment---who knows? Since becoming a photographer, I've saved some awful shots for reasons I couldn't explain, and even if they didn't turn into a piece as beautiful as this, I still learned a lot from playing with them. But what makes you hold onto a shot, I don't know. You obviously saw something in it, as your treatment attests. And maybe it's a motherly thing, you look at it and feel you let it down, you want to give it something back for wresting it away from its natural setting and leaving it abandoned...Maybe you knew there was life in it, and you felt compassion for it, lol. Or not lol---maybe you really did! An artist wants to "do" for their pictures. You turned it into a painting, part abstract, part realism. It has "3s" again---upper, middle, lower. And those groynes---they're groynes?---make the punctuation that breaks up the continuity of all water. But so does the white in the shot---above and below the groynes. And you've rendered the mid portion with beautiful blues and greens. A very painterly work, poetic, and with beautiful hues. Whatever you wanted to give back to the photo, you did. It's quiet, a bit stormy, and beautiful.
