Description

This is an actual photograph of a sunset over the ocean taken while I was vacationing in Long Beach, WA. The photo seemed a bit plain to me, so I found a photo of a whale's tail and used it as a model for the one I created into this photograph. I also inhanced the water a bit and did some work around my created tail to make it blend better.
