 The contrast in this scene is spectacular; a little tiny boat sailing along the face of a huge storm. Who knows what the poor fellow was thinking as he/she was swamped by the storm.
One of the challenges I faced was that the boat is so small it is easy to miss, thus the long and rather leading title. Hopefully it doesn't detract from the image.

lucky for the title or else i would have missed the boat.

a better composition would make this so much more interesting, i think the horizon is waaaay to far down.

If the boat was just a little bit bigger, I would have given it 11.
So I'll give it only 10.

Now that's what you call 'minimalism'. Great cloud structures.
