• Comment - Lovely painting. However, it looks rather greenish compared to Homer's other maritime paintings as well as other photos of this particular work on Commons. Are we certain that the original dose not have a more blueish hue? (Support - if the colours are indeed correct.) P. S. Burton (talk) 12:33, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
  • I cannot find anything against or for the color balance in this particular photo. The white specs in the wake, the rudder's reflection, and on the lighthouse island are actually quite white, which makes me believe it might be fairly accurate. FakeShemp (talk) 05:27, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
