I hope to see several heavy storm for this months so be ready to get good shots even with your old canon.

The message of this picture is how what we think of as huge
and indestructible is dwarfed by the enormity of nature.
Or - maybe the message is: if the weather looks like this, be
sure to wear rubber boots so your feet don't get wet.
Either one works for me.

However now again I see the same tone change in the scene overall in the sea the line is very sharp to be natural. It could be because u have a cloud over, but is almost square. Perhaps if your retouch it it will be solve. I don't find the mensage of this picture.

Like I told Mandrake - wish I had a longer lens with me but...
The sky was dramatic and I see your point - it was a tough
call for me on which way to go. Next time more sky and
see less sea lol!

The sky is the subject in this image, but the way you framed it make it less important. I would include more sky and less water with the horizon in the lover third instead on upper third.

Sometimes clouds and sunlight make fantastic scenes. Good job. I love this picture

Thanks for the comments! I missed the real light show by about 2 minutes or less.
It was a dramatic scene and I do wish that I had a longer lens to tighten it up but
I took the pic with what I had and it turned out pretty good - looks a lot better at 300K
and 300dpi resolution.

I would frame and hang.

My tinkering:
I cropped the left to just before the first ray and adjusted PS levels at both ends just a bit.
I think it improved composition (3rd's thing).
The crop also eliminated the leftmost reflection on the ocean which may be distracting.
Level adjustment gave it a bit more drama.
Try if you like.
