I am sorry to hear that Michael, and already with so few images in this 
round. Thanks for putting the image here so that we can at least enjoy it.

This is a difficult type of scene to do indeed. I like the way you have 
treated the water as a media, although I would have liked to see small 
debris in suspension. I recall a shark by Jim Charter which showed that 
and it was very effective to recreate a watery environment. Shouldn't 
sun rays be more visible, broken by surface waves/ripples, with light 
spots on the sand?

I agree with Kenneth about the sand around the statue (the figurehead of 
the ship, I suppose?). Not sure how it would have to look but I think 
that small water currents would create ridges and furrows around it.

I love the way the dolphin nibbles the hand :-)

Overall, well done; maybe the scene is a bit too empty, but that is just 
my 2 cents.
