The waves in particular are rather stunning, are they not?

The waves turned out surprisingly well. I really didn't expect that.

For example, I specifically mentioned that there was a partial view of a wave on the right side, but it instead assumed it was part of the serpent, as you can see.

I had more the impression that the body of the Serpent was shining through the wave and that the colors were being refracted by the wave.

Another mistake was mine alone, in that I forgot to give it any instructions about the person in the boat. They're colored oddly

I personally don't find that bad. It doesn't distract too much from the Serpent, but still leaves enough room for the viewer to create their own story around the image.
