outstanding image and well deserved price. As mentioned by everyone; Great colors and lightning combined with a nice hudson river school feeling. Not to mention the approach: it´s allways an eye candy to see what you skulpt out with some dropped colors on a screen.
cheers, fahrija

Congratulations, Simon!
It is said that one of the marks of real art is that it looks natural and effortless, it is definitely the case here. 
Hat off to you, and thank you for your advice in my thread.
