"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
Quite a bit of symbolism in your imagery here Michael.
Of course, interpretation is in the eye of the beholder as well. The eclipsing planet/moon holds some particular significance for me.
Good composition. Well balanced and good placement of elements.
Caveats? The sun/star ... needs to be brought out some more. Bit too pale or perhaps not clearly delineated enough?
Love ... love the ripples and how you have them structured. Flow is perfect and positioned well with the shore's edges.
For that matter and extending the thought above ... the liquid surface is spot on. Really well done on that aspect.
The atmo is interesting. I like it, could use a bit more work as you move towards the horizon, in my very humble opinion. Would like to see that facet kicked up and create some more depth.
That said ... nice work. :o)
( /\ Fooled ya again? :oD)
A loving gesture and thanks for sharing your ... well, heart with us. :o)
