All your images in your water series are impressive !

Here, I prefer the second one. The small detail thats bugs me is the 
fact that the water is so clear (the boat is seen so clearly) - I would 
expect to have much less visibility, because of impurities, algae, etc.

Well I had a go at animating it, it looks terrible. I think I could get 
something good if I replace the ridged_mf function with a home-grown version 
where I can animate each octave independantly, but it would probalby still 
look a bit wierd and I can't be bothered putting that much effort in! :)

I agree, I think the bright white on the boat looks way to bright for 
something submerged. I'm going to adjust the boat colours and/or water 
transparency.

Well other people were commenting on a different boat. This is a totally new 
boat, much more realistic, and on the correct scale (IMO).

please stop posting photographs here, Tek. :)

seriously, this sea is perfect!  why are you tweaking it yet?  the foam
looks nice, the boat is much better and the shot from above is much more
pleasing! :)

hey, if povray's standard include files ever get a facelift, would you mind
having your sea in it?  see the discussion:

Sounds cool to me. Though surely it would be an example scene not a standard 
include? it's not a terribly generic effect.
Though having said that you can pretty easily tweak the "storminess" and 
"foaminess"...

deep. The transparency looks right to me. Both images are good the second
*AWESOME HESPERUS* :-)

Neither do I.
From my experience on ships and in rough seas, the water can be extremely 
clear, allowing you to see down to several metres.

Really? Every time I've seen things underwater in the ocean it's been very 
hard to see any kind of distance.

Anyway, here's a less transparent version, discuss :)

I think transparency is realistic here  (and your sea is great!)
But when a ship is sinking, the water is saturated with bubbles
