The first word that literally sprung to mind when I saw this was, "incredible." What an inspiring vision into two different parts of any world.

I've always been a fan of areas to which easy access is not an option. Space is one. Underwater is another. It is always fascinating to see where objects, islands, trees, plants, mountains/volcanos and the likes originate, where their base is and you managed to convey a feeling of depth and infinity not only above, but also below water.

What intrigues me is the sheer exceptional scale that you worked into your piece here and all the minute details that keep the eyes moving around. If you separated these pictures to a single over and respectively underwater scene they would work equally as well, but combining them gives this artwork something utterly striking.

Excellent.

An absolutely fantastic piece of art. Quite simply spectacular. A masterpiece of a photomanipulation. What particularly impressed me was the most was the way this piece looks actually possible and quite realistic, therefore, the reason I gave you a perfect five star for everything there is because you pretty much have destroyed my view that nothing is perfect. It's clear you strove for perfection when creating this piece and that comes across from the artwork. There are no negative points about this.

May be one of my favourite pieces of art on this site. Congratulations on such a brilliant piece. There is only praise to give here, and it is well deserved.

Oh my goodness! I saw this on Pinterest, and I actually thought this was a real place! I wanted to see if it was possible to go here and I was about to go and look up the history of this place! Just beautiful. Well, I think I have a bit of inspiration for a story now.
