Thanks all for the help.  I redid the image with slightly less stylized palm
fronds and, of course, a smaller boat.  I straightened out the horizon also.
 I tried placing the light behind the storm cloud to add to the effect of

Mostly I posted this to see if many other people are using Anim8or to model
for Pov-Ray.
