A great use of color. The dark shadowing combined with the orange and yellow colors of warning adeptly convey a sense of danger ahead, giving this piece a great deal of metaphoric depth.

The brilliant use of contrast between the dark shadowing and the beautiful oranges and yellows further enhances the dramatic nature of this painting.

The distant clouds serve as an opaque screen for the sun, spreading its brilliant colors across the breadth of the horizon. This surrealistic effect further draws you into this compelling piece of art.

The drama of this piece is heightened by the crashing waves and what could be construed as a raucous send off by the ship in the corner.
