Inspiring and beautiful.


The wide range of colors surrounding the whales is something that almost

glows, and the snow in the night effect gives the impression of theΒ 

entire sky sparkling...


The lone individual moving at the bottom gives the thought

that maybe this image is a product of his/her daydreams,

something that makes this all the more wonderful.


Thanks a bunch, and again, another treat.

I know what you mean, I made this one the night before and added the whales during lunch time on the day of submission while I was at work! I think I would have been informed if I'd won by now, so best of luck to the winners, I did it in the hope Neil would see my work and I know for sure he has
