excellent - the serpent needs to be a bit more randomly coiled, and some
huge splashes wouldn't go amiss :)

Nice composition, but i don't like the water. ;-)

It looks too bright and the reflections somehow don't look right i think. 
I'm also missing transparency.

Lips are too bright red for the situation, methinks. Should be pale
and more towards purple, and the comlpexion should verge on whitish
wax color. That's all IMHO, of course.

Swim, Pee-Wee Herman. Swim for your life.

Seriously, nice pic. Since the ship looks much better than the serpent,
perhaps finding an arrangement that shows more of the ship and less of the
serpent would make the picture better.

I find very strange the fact that the ship and the serpent seem to be in the
horizon. I think that one would expect, by the size of the boat, to be
closer than the horizon.

Otherwise, very good job with the ship and the serpent of the sea!

Nice image!

I wonder how comfortable a fire serpent would be in water....

Looks like a very low camera angle.  Judging for the person in the water,
the camera is probably only two or three feet off the surface which is why
the boat and monster appear on the horizon.  This is a fantastic scene.  It
has a true sense of terror about it.

Thanks!

Well ... I don't know. It's a very strange concept, isn't it?

Yes, 30 centimenter.

Thanks! The scene developed out of some "contest" in a game I'm playing. The
gamemaster wants to make some encyclopaedia of the flora and fauna if the
world we are playing in. This is an illustration for it.

Scaling seems to be one of the chalenges in most of my scenes. Skip is
right, the camera is really only some 30 centimeter above the waterlevel.
That's why I considered to lower the camera even more. With direct
comparison between the mans head and the ship/serpent, in addition with the
fog-effect, things might be clearer. But it doesn't help that much

Thanks!
