The morning I left for England I had a few minutes alone down by the beach. the local fishermen always know when the weather is about to turn stormey and haul out their small boats. I shot this from inside the car as there was a lot of spray in the air.
The composition is unusual but I rather like the 'belly' of sky and the curves of the boats.

Can I improve it though...or can you? Smile I'd be grateful for any crit, thanks.

Very strong image and composition, dramatic sea and sky. Crete(The Libyan sea) is much quieter....

Thanks each and everyone!

I've been asked why I always ask for critique. Well if I get one bit of advice on a page, I'm happy. This shot is a direct result of one of those occasions.

A while back Magda told me to pause just before pressing the shutter and check what is in the viewfinder. On this occasion I was so busy waiting for a big wave...and when it came almost clicked the button all the way...then I heard her words.

A quick check made me realise I'd cropped the top off the crane...when the next wave came I was ready.

Thank you so much, Magda. One of the best bits of advice I've ever had!
