A piece I was inspired to do after listening to The Killers' "Goodnight, Travel Well". Listen to the song on Youtube and then give me comments and critiques and stuff. 
This pic is a guy (doesn't look too good) standing against the ocean, grieving over the loss of a loved one.

Would anybody be horribly upset if I bumped this? I posted it this morning and it plummetted to the bottom due to the new challenge of mustachiness.

What you have so far is looking fine. You need to throw in the ocean to see if things are really working. Please don't make a blue ocean...think purples, aquas, greens, greys----with some blue.

I think this would benefit greatly from a perspective shift... Perhaps to be slightly behind and more level with the ground.

I think you could add a lot more depth to it that way.
Just my opinion though~

@ Jalonso: That's what I was thinking of. ;)
@ Ekobor: Meh, maybe.

If you mean "post the picture that inspired you to do this here", it wasn't a picture that inspired me. It was a song.
 
If you meant "Google 'ocean' and post a picture you find" then I will.
 
Or I would, but I lost interest. I was sick and didn't have a chance to do it, so...yeah. D: Sorry. :<

Alright, here's your sea.
