Hi Kyle,
Very nice mood and colours..!
Thanks for your sharing.
Best wishes,

What a brilliant capture of an approaching storm, this is a great shot and reminds me of the enormous alien spaceships in independence Day!

Great powerful feeling coming from this photograph and the small yacht on the horizon looks very vulnerable!

I love the clouds! Indeed, you can see the storm coming!
In my opinion you can see too much of the rocks, I would crop it a little bit more..

Hi Kyle,
A superb capture o fthis threatening sky, absolutely breathtaking! Superb POV, the rocks on the FG gives the image a lot of depth. The contrast is perfect, all the different cloud layrs are perfectly shown. The turquiose sea is looking soo great. Overall an excellent posting for sure as far as I'm concerned! Did it bring a lot of rain?

Hi Kyle,
great photo of the approaching storm. Lovely colours.

Very dramatic sky over that unusual (for me) light green sea. I like the rocks texture.

TFS,

hello Kyle

the colours of your picture are really amazing+
the feeling of a comming storm has been very well captured

the rocks on foregroung give a nice perspective , but I would have taken the picture from a little higher position to have more ocean in the frame , becaude the colours of it is magnificient

the little boat in the horizon is a point of interest

regards

jjo

Hi Kyle:)))
Great shot - amazing cloud configuration and you show that so well. Also I like these tones on the water and rocks.

Hello my friend..

What a nice colour that sea has, Kyle... And wow, what a cloud layer... very threatening. I love the not-too-sharp rocks up front here. Beautiful capture - I just notice a small cw tilt on the horizon.
TFS

Awesome! A great capture Kyle full of detail and such a lot going on there.
Well done...

Hello Kyle,

The dramatic clouds hovering over the sea is warning for worse weather to come!

Fantastic compo and colours

Excellent Kyle, I echo the comments that Hans has made. Lovely colour and fine cloud structures. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Harry Who? ’

Hello Kyle
This is difficult to critique. What do I like best - the colours or the textures? They are both excellent
Greetings from Greece
Phil

Great contrast in colours and textures - I like your use of large rocks in the foreground to balance out the incoming storm - definately a photo showing a balance of power.
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Great shot. I love the color of the water with those dark clouds!

Well observed and presented !

how beautiful, the different colors and composition here. What a grand view!
We never get to see things like this here in Holland and in a funny way I'm not sorry for that! Wouldn't like storms like you have.
I really think the color of the water is absolutely smashing!

Cheers,
Anneke

Bonjour Kyla.
Très belle composition tricolore...
Lumière, cadrage et contraste sont impeccables.
Bravo !

Hi Kyle,
