I love this one, especially how you did the rain effect

I love the clouds and rain.

It annoys me how you can't see his face, if the arm was more over his head it would be fine, but only just hiding it looks a bit odd to me. I don't think it detracts from the image though.

a great peice

thank you also for your suggestions about the body parts position: you're right ì. I thought the same and I desired to manage also the shadow to show the proximity of his arm to the observer... but then I was bored to work on it! :)

Bellissimo...Il cielo tempestoso dà una sensazione molto potente, e la balena risalta così tanto contro di esso! E poi amo Moby Dick...:heart: Faav!:heart:
