Storm Coming

Wonderful composition and mood. Very nice work!

Wow, those are ANGRY clouds. Did you use a red filter?

Cool. Nothing like emphasizing the clouds and making the patrons of the dock seem not to care about the atmospheric events unfolding behind them one bit.

Ooh, this I like. That sky is amazing. The people in the foreground just calmly fishing while it loks like all hell is about to break loose make this one.

Juxtaposing the seemingly unconcerned men fishing in calm waters with the storm in the distance results in an amazingly surreal composition.

 

The only "problem" seems to be some "jaggies" or anti-aliasing in the image I'm seeing. Then again it adds to the painted look of this photo.

You seem to have made a very smart cropping decision here (the unusual shape of the image being my only clue). The line formed by the pier aims right at the threatening storm - or is it the other way around? I love the way the eye tracks across this.

I find that dark storm clouds have weight, body, immenseness, and it scares me. It's like being a few feet from the power of God. That's the feeling I get here, and I remember some of those times when it seemed like I was a hairbreadth away from destruction by all that force. This print is one I would love to have. I'll try to post one of my own storm shots in the next week or so.
