First off, sorry for the lame title
and I know, i suck painting clouds XD
I had soo many different ideas for the theme: Good vs Evil and i wish i could've done them all<3
I don't really know how I'm going to explain this pic, since I'm not that good with fancy words and how to but them together into a decent -enough- explaination. But hey, I'm going to damn try anyway XD
It's about having to leave the the quiet, serene place of your imagination someday and move on towards the harsh, evil world outside your bedroom window. This girl has to leave her childhood behind(the rubberball) and become an adult where everything ain't just fun and games. She goes without her umbrella, which - for me again - symbolizes protection and the security of what's familiar, to meet the new world and its challenges.
So the theme is a little well hidden in here somewhere XD The clear blue sparkly water is the ''Good'' side and the fiery sunset represents the ''Evil'' side. I know that for many that it would maybe be the other way around, but that just how I see it XD
I hope my little ramble wasn't a complete waste, but it was the best way I could explain it XD

Yah, I know. Drawing clouds, and not to mention sunsets, are a bitch to draw, so in the end I sort of gave up on it ;;Orz

A beautiful piece - one that really deserves a bit more attention. I know you say that you suck at painting clouds, but we all do, to some extent. It's just a matter of going back and redoing them over and over until by some stroke of luck, they turn out good.
I think you owe it to your beautiful visual concept to go back and rework the sky - I even think the clouds you have up there look unfinished, as opposed to inherently flawed. They look as though they're leading up to something quite beautiful, that just needs to be defined better.
Also, a nice touch with the border! I think it really brings the piece together, without overpowering it (as it would, if it were a single solid colour).

I think it was a good explanation, and your idea is great!
I love the sort of rough painting style, with visible lines and strokes here and there. The dramatic change in colour scheme is also very effectful.
I honestly think you Brought your Vision to Life!
Good luck in the contest! Heia Norge!

I think it is a beautiful work. The contrast between the dark, red/orange above the white and blue at the ground of the picture is very nice. I like this picture a lot
