Lu 17:24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. ........ My Gallery
Nice strong image; I like this! The best bits (for me) are the distant details... the pole, the breakers; the bright light flare. I also like the broad sweep of deep gold coming out to the foreground. There's a dark shadow on the right hand side that looks as though it's the shadow of the gull on the left hand side, but if that's not surreal, what is? :-)
Caveat (to borrow a useful word from Les)... the grain in the clouds, especially at the top; I would love for those to be smoother, but that's my personal preference.
Oh, great entry, Lyn...I really like the simplicity of the scene contrasting with the bold colors and sense of motion...very dramatic and as Jerry says, almost heavenly...best of luck.
In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest, where no one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art. ~Rumi~
For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.

I love how you got the rays of light beaming down on the water. I like the brown & blue color contrasts too. Fantastic entry & manipulation, LynEve. Best wishes in the contest.
Very creative manip. Well done.
