    Bit O foul weather

    Wind so strong it was hard to get out of my vehicle, and the clouds were moving so fast that the light was changing dramatically by the second. The spray was another challenge.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    The composition is cool, but I am not feeling the exposure, it feels underexposed.
    Also, what was the focal length? This looks like 50mm, if it were wider you would have more sky, and I believe it would have more impact

    Thanks Alexandre, the exposure as is was intentional, I was trying to convey something of the gloomy weather and any brighter seemed to make the wet rocks look a little weird.

    Pete, looks like it was real rough waters. Looks like it was a dramatic day. I hope that drama showed up a bit more here. You need a bit of a punch to the photo. I think a darker more contrasty treatment could make this have the feeling of a dark stormy day.
