CC Hey there andrewm.
Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Nice but could of been better.
Background-Fantastic sky shot, great colors.
My Opinion-Shot is well done and yes, I've looked at many similar stock shots. This is nice. I do think this could of been a bit more crisp/sharp. The colors are very good. Keep up your good work.
I would be ready to buy this one if it were not so damp and cold. That is what it is saying to me, maybe if you had waited a few seconds more the sun would have warmed it up a bit, and added more color to the clouds. At least that would make your picture for me. 7
Wild cloud formation there! I like the effect of night time on the left and still daylight on the right. Something about the boats on the right bothers me though, I would have prefered to have nothing on the right as it seems to break the transformation from dark to light. It would have been great to have the sun setting there instead.
Challenge met, I can definitely see this being used as stock photography. It is also a nice photo. The clouds add a lot of interest to the photo (could almost qualify for leading lines this week :-P). Overall, I think I would like to see this just a tinsy tad brighter to see just a little bit more detail, but w/out blowing out the sky. Good entry :)
Pretty good photo. Lacking the crispness to make it a really good photo though. I like the concept and the angle, just wondering where the sun is at this point.
