Andrew Kusmin (Juror) - "At first glance one feels the stormy mist and movement of the sea.  The subject is not new but the competant handling of the medium has created a strong sense of time and place.  The simple palette, consistant brushwork and subtle value changes allow us to easily move through this scene from shore to the most distant white wave."
