Great sky, love the clouds and the colours in the water are really very nice. Looks like that storm is coming in judging by the look of the trees blowing, I love days like this one. I like how you included a bit of blue sky being chased by the storm, makes for a dramatic looking sky.I usually wouldnt put the horizon line at centre, but I like it here, the water is so beautiful looking it needs lots of space and the village buildings add interest to it as well. Only thing I would change would be to just straighten the horizon a little as its just a bit crooked.Very nice though - Deb.

    Thank you Deb, I appreciate your review very much and I'm sorry for responding late.
    I agree I won't put the horizon in the middle usually either but here it seemed right to me since I didn't want to miss any of the water or sky.

Comment from Mattison


This is a very lovely photograph however I think something like this would go better in the 'Seascape' photo contest rather than the 'Landscape' photo contest.

The color of the water in this is great. I love the storm clouds as they add great interest.
Overall, VERY lovely place and photograph of it!

    Thank you. You are probably right with the Seascape. It would feed too but I think it is also a Landscape because people live in that 100 yard wide clearing between the coastline and the Jungle. There are just not the usual Landscapes without the sea in our area.

IMpact - this is a beautiful piece
Focus is crisp and clear
Colors are "sea worhty" LOL
Sea colors are marvelous from the very light in the foreground to the dark that has picked up the dark clouds in the background
Nice DOF
Contrast is ok
Composition is very appealing
Good luck.

This is so beautiful, a sea- landscape photo that I wish I had done. I've been living in Mexico for some time and these moments keep me there. For me, everything is perfect. Don't change a thing.
