This is extremely fine-looking water; as Jim Charter mentioned, it makes one
(well, me, at least) question my own recollections of the ocean and waves,
and it provides an artistic rather than photographic interpretation
(although the realism is very good too). It made me think of Hokusai's 'Big
Wave' as well. Incredible. Also generous of you to provide the code--
thanks!

If I could offer any suggestion, it would be that the clouds should have the
same sort of complexity at several scales that the water does. I know this
is pretty difficult, though. I also think the boat detracts, because it's
so much simpler than the water. Maybe another organic object as well, like
a jellyfish, feather, bit of wood, etc...
