Congratulations on this wonderful image. You've done a great job putting all the elements together as well as more technical aspects such as lighting, colour, and tones. The angle of the boat rising over the wave adds to the drama and power of the image. You could put this on a wall and tell a tale of adventure on the high seas to enthral anyone that views it.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 1 and 250 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** <b>NOTE: All image elements must have been shot by the uploading photographer.</b> Adding a dramatic sky to your landscape image can work wonders, but needs some skill too. It can also be a giveaway when a bright sky is paired with a dull landscape that was obviously shot under very different conditions. But the sky is definitely not the limit for composite landscape imagery, and with some good taste, well shot elements, and appropriately applied understatement, the sum can be very much more than the parts and produce impactful imagery that would be impossible to achieve with one capture.
Great concept and execution. I tend to judge a good image by asking myself "could I see this framed on a wall?" and this is definitely something I could picture taking pride of place in someone's home. You've combined just the right amount of rhino and landscape details with a subtle and calming colour palette to set the mood of the overall image.

You've created not only a wonderful and engaging image, but also a terrific fantasy world. The dress and depth of field draw the eye in, allowing the viewer to wonder at the moody and ominous structure in the background. The models pose adds to the flow of the dress creating movement and a dynamic image. The colour and tones add to the ethereal nature. Well done.
