kind of grainy. was this too tightly cropped, over post processed, or poorly reduced for submission? also, i think getting some reference point (anchor) of land in the photo might have helped (although i understand that with these clouds that might not have worked)
Kind of grainy, but it looks like that is what you were going for. I think a long narrow format (more on the sides), instead of the standard format, would have looked nicer.
very nice, it would be a bit better if there were more clouds out, but you can't really do much about that, it look very interesting. Good work, I'll give you an 8
