        This is a digital painting on smooth canvas. The water was a seamless texture I applied. The only cast shadow was the wing of the bird. There was no light from the moon and I decided not to add it. All comments and advice are appreciated. Thanks.

        A nice concept. The shadow seems out of place.

            I agree with Doug. Shadows falling on uneven surfaces are complex and need to be very carefully considered.

            PLEASE how do I make these dreadful yellow things go away? OMG there's even more of the awful things now.

                Arlene, this looks great. The colours, the sea, that blurry sun and distant clouds… John and Doug made a good point about the shadow. The composition seems a bit unbalanced

                    Arlene,

                    This is nicely done with good use of colour and  really nice movement portrayed in the water. I think you have some good advice above with respect to the cast shadow of the bird…..great job.

                        I was thinking it might be cool to put the dark shadow of a large fish under the water instead of the bird shadow.

                        Everything else being equal, I would rather be in the painting zone.

                                That is a beautiful bird Arlene and I love how you painted the water.
