The water looks great!

Will you place boats or sth else on it or just play on the rocky part?

Beautiful water effect. Is it painted board with a clear varnish finish?

You've created a real impression of depth with the shading/colours in the water, a very impressive effect.

Great layout. Wonderful effect on the sea  :-*
Not quite so sold on the cliff face with its regular striations... Did you consider cork bark?

Yeah, the cliffs look a bit more regular than they probably ought to, but otherwise it's a great piece.

With foam, if you hack at it and add some horizontal cuts as well, it tends to make it less regular and if you mix and match between techniques you tend to have an end result that looks more like a real rock face.
