I would like it better with the tree offset to the right, a bit more detail in the forground, and less flat grey cloud above. But a very pretty shot.

- photo is rather dark - levels need adjustment
- too much room at the top - some cropping would have been in order
- a bit of sharpening would have been okay, too
- i get a sense neither of island nor desert from this photo

I'm not a fan of big palms in the wind. their frawns look a little messy. the sky doesn't add because there's too little color. the centered framing, while not usually desirable, seems to work in this shot. 5

Beautiful shot. I wish the background was in-focus though.

The sky is dramatic and I imagine it was changing fast. If a little more light was present, the silhouette would have been that much better.
