I love the overall atmosphere. It's amazing how a simple change of lighting creates a different mood with the same setting, too. Beautiful.

Now this is one beautiful dio. A bit hard for me to see on my daughters note pad or whatever it is, but this will stand out as one of my favorites. The scene and the modeling is just great. My hats off to you and any one else who can work on such a small scale. And your water is superb.

What's all the flotsam and jetsam floating in the water?

I get it! The debris is from a vessel which is no longer with us! BTW; what's your technique for making water? Is it poured resin, or acrylic gel?

Excellent looking dio with lots happening. I'd have liked some close ups, but the overall scene looks terrific.

Nice one.
