Nice, but you might have to try to simplify some things that people normally wouldn't include. All the puffy cumulous clouds seem to destroy the water color illusion where the appear in there. You might want to simplify certain parts of the sky towards the horizon to make it feel more natural to the painting technique. I'm sure it will benefit from some more experimentation.

Nice idea and very nice motive!

It looks a little overprocessed to me (oversaturated). It also needs starightening and could do with a bit more foreground to balance the image.

The horizon does need to be leveled a little, but I like the look. I think the artistic effect looks good with the color saturation.

- I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

I appreciate all the comments.
I will post the original for comparison. As for level I was trying out a little experiment.
I also straightened it.

Thank you for the responses.

Original for me, too. Too much magenta in the other. Better crop on the original, also. Too much foreground along the bottom border of the conversion. Elimination of that border brings the eyes up to the rest of the pic. Good work.

Aaahhhh!
...honestly, this thing doesn't need a conversion at all! Very picturesque and even painterly as it is already. Really a nice shot! :D
