A big whale in a majestic sunset pose on one of Norways highest mountains. Not really bothered by mountain climbers trying to reach the mountain top. Mountains, whales and postcard sunsets. Its the essence of Norway! Enjoy!

Interesting design which stands out. I'm undecided if I like the straightness of the climbing ropes but the whale is awesome.

Also I'm not sure if the sun would look better if it had a line like outline, like the rest of the image. 4.

I agree, the straight ropes are a bit odd, but other than that I like it.

lol. this is funny. i like it!!

Sweet. Love the concept, and the placement of the whale atop the mountain is perfectly absurd. GJ! 5

The mountain looks like a wave, I had to read the description to understand what was up with those people. Good concept, though....

Oh that's what they people are doing? I was having the hardest time figuring that out. Definitely make the ropes look more natural and give them some harnesses and picks or something. Maybe they're there already but I can't really see anything.

Whales are so awesome. I want this shirt really badly.

i love the idea, but does anyone else feel like the mountain looks like a big thing of melting ice cream? And ditto on the ropes...

reminds me of that famous Hokusai print.

yeah, it does look like a wave. ropes need slack.

Thanks guys! Wish some of the great comments had been given in the critique-section. I've posted a version without climbing ropes and with an outlined sun here: http://www.threadless.com/critique/5875/Essence_of_Norway#v6

this is a really unique design, well done

jsilver951 on Sep 06 '07

yeah i totally read it as people attaching ropes to a whale that's breaking out of a giant wave

I don't necessary feel that a design should have only one meaning or understanding to bee good. I'm really happy if a design can create different assosiations according to the preferences of the people looking at it.
