This work has reached the exceptional level

It's as if a moment in real time has been effectively captured here in words, paired with an appropriate pic to illustrate -very effective use of language

Ciao mystery poet, you now have three votes.

Just love that sunset...and its' warm autumn( my favourite season) hues spilling over the ocean surface ....... just mesmerising.

I love orcas too. It pains me to know that several are still kept prisoner to perform at sea world. In captivity, their dorsal fin bends over because they are under stress and do not have enough space to swim freely. That's sad.

They should be free like in your artwork.

(These orcas are odd, the painter forgot to paint the white oval patches near the eyes and the grey/white patch behind the dorsal fin, also orcas are smooth underneath ..those ripples remind me of a whale's underpart )

Have you seen the film with Richard Harris and Bo Derek : ORCA, the Killer Whale

I do believe animals have feelings, even of revenge like in this film.

    Thanks for your review. Unsure if the illustration is with orcas or just whales (-;

    It did not make the top step, but all the reviews pleased me.
