Drawn with an intuos3 graphics pen-
Inspired by a dream I had where I was surrounded by dolphins who guided me to a beautiful place...I could breathe under the water and it was a great dream.

Very pretty and in my opinion regarding the shine issue: Actually you are showing light reflections in the water and on the womans face. The dolphins skin is so smooth light can reflect or bounce off at certain angles causing a shine. I certainly wouldnt alter it, otherwise it would lay there flat and take away from the brightness it brings to the image. I also prefer the colored image, an ocean should always be filled with color. Im a dolphin fan myself (i do 3d renderering).
Artist Reply: Thanks:) After I did it, I was told that dolphins don't shine like that under water, but I decided to keep the shine anyway...afterall anything goes in the fantasy world:)
