    Hello Mud,

    This is a pleasing composition. I like your clouds rendition, they are massive and their location within the frame leads my eyes back and forth.

    regards

    Seb

    A great scene and the clouds and sky are beautiful. I have only to mention that the horizon cutting the picture in half is not good in most cases and this is one. ( for me, anyway) I tried cropping the bottom so that the horizon comes down a bit below center, and then crop from the right to maintain the aspect ratio brings a better balanced comp. Very nice image

    Hey Mud,

    Nice shot. That's my idea of a good day, right there.

    I agree with Seb. I like the clouds a lot, but I could do with out the foreground. Just my opinion of course, but I think it might have been nice to raise the camera some, to lower the horizon and show more of the clouds...or, to crop this one so it's just a little taller than square. Did you use a polarizer for this?

    Thanks for sharing.

    Very nice indeed but I feel its a little squashed and with those huge clouds and sky I am left wondering what this scene would look like in full landscape mode.

    I guess I have to agree with all the others in there is too much foreground for the clouds with the horizon in the centre breaking up the image.

    I think there are possibly 2 shots in this photo - crop just below the boat for the sky and then just above the first big clioud from the horizon which would possibly give you the foreground type shot and also these crops would give you a sudo landscape and make for a better balance.

    Hope all that made sense.
