Winter storm rising

[barabe]

Here is another one of my shots taken on a one day buisness trip to PEI, It is a storm building up over the Atlantic Ocean. the ocean is frozen in this area but i would not try to go take a walk on it.

the scene was originally very bright even without my camera looking into it so i had to darken it up a bit to see details. It naturally almost is sepia. Does this picture tell the story i am trying to share? Anything i could have done better?

I don't know the weather signs where you are to be able to tell if it looks like a storm is coming, but maybe others who live there would see it. To me it does convey bleak frozen expanses and I like the composition, the diagonal line of broken rocks. The curving lines of ice in the foreground look a bit like surf on a beach. I like it and have no suggestions for improvement!

I too love the diagonal line of the rocks.
I like the texture in the foreground the ripples in the water and the interesting cloud formations. This is a beautiful shot my friend!
It is a tad bit too light (contrast) for my taste but as you know I tend to prefer a darker tone to images.
I have to admit that if I had to choose a favorite of one the pictures you have posted, this would be it !!

Thank you Annette and Tom,
It is always nice to hear from you both.
I did notice on my other monitor that contrast is a litle low and did work on it a litle and that made a great deal of a change when i have time i will post the reworked one.

by the way Tom The only water present now is in a frozen state (snow, ice and clowds).

I really like the colors in this one. Interesting that they came out this way naturally!

thank you for comenting EObeav.

Yes it was that color naturally with the sun filtering trough the clouds, is saw the result before i took the picture and could not wait to see it on my computer.

I like the angles and the textures. I think the sun is a bit too bright. I would lower the brightness & boost the contrast.

Nice shot
