November 2008 Challenge - The Sea

I have placed the challenge photos in the Photo Album Area under the challenge title 'Nov 2008 Challenge - The Sea'! This month's challenge is to capture the movement of the ocean! It will pull in from a couple other challenges for clearies and glass and the mini challenge of the UK palette. Also to try and bring in the colors of the reflection of the sky and the sea underneath when looking at the underside of a curl... or what have you...

listings for ebay cannot have any extra doo-dads except for gallery image. you can start them at whatever price you wish, but no free shipping

the media can be whatever you wish however this time I think I want to limit the size to OSWOA or larger. Can be on paper or canvas.

Have fun! Can't wait to see what you all come up with!!!
