There is calm/stormy as antonyms - haven't heard of "calm stormy" as an oxymoron, but I'll give you the benefit of a doubt. Interesting skies. A full silhouette would probably be better, crank the black level to get it and check it out.

Do people really use that phrase? Calm Stormy... Hmmm. Oh well, if they do I guess this image fits. :D This is a tough image to comment on. It's interesting to look at. The interest is in the giraffe, but unfortunately the giraffe is underexposed. Looking at the scene I don't know how you could add any light without a flash - remote flash maybe? Probably not. I would take this image and turn it into a straight silhouette. I think it would be pretty strong in that format. All JMO of course. :D Good luck in the challenge.
