This image is called 'Sea Lady' after the name of the ship. I tried to capture mystique view under water in this image. The ray's of light trying to make it too the bottom.

Nice image! Maybe iy would be cool if you damage the wood a bit and add some seaweed. That's ofcourse if the boat sank a long time ago :) The only thing that bothers me is the sail. It looks too transperant and unless it's bootom part is attached to something ot probably wouldn't stay in that posotion. Maybe make it a bit ragget and waving a little with the sea currents. That's my only critique but I like the overall atmosphere. Nice depth and caustic effects on the sand.

Yes it is nice, but I don't think it tells a full story. It would be great to see signs of damage from a shipwreck, or storm (broken masts/ chimney?). Perhaps some sign of the crew's struggle to escape.

I agree with darkstarbg, about the sail but I'll take it a step further, ships that sink generally don't still have all ropes and rigging still in place either.

One more minor thing, it would be nice to see some piling of the sand around the anchor so that it doesn't just look sunk-in

Hope that helps!

Nice atmosphere!
