St. Ann's Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia

Storm clouds rolled in at sunset creating some drama in the sky.

Has an excellent waterfront dramatic weather look and feel here, Eva. I really like seeing the two very distant points somewhat center screen on the larger version. Is that some kind of bay opening of sorts? Hard to tell, just looks like two points of land coming close to the middle area of the water out there.

An image that looks very true to what the scene must have been in person, Eva. I like the expanse of ocean and sky here. Well done. The only suggestion I have is to do a touch of noise reduction before printing.

I like the tones in this image and the darker blue contrasting with the lighter pastel sky. The effect of the shutter speed on the water adds a nice mood to the scene.

Sweet location and I have been lucky enough to see this scene for myself. Morris picked up the noise which could be easily dealt with in your editing software. I get the impression you had to increase the exposure to get the detail in the horizon and foreground so next time maybe try experimenting with multiple exposures so you don't need to increase the exposure in post production and risk introducing noise.

Hi Eva Such soft and subtle pinks in that sky mixed in with the blues of the clouds. I looked at both large and small images and I can't see any noise in the picture at all. Actually I suspect it was quite an easy scan to do.

What strikes me about this is the way that textures in the wispy clouds are echoed by the foreground textures in the foreground waters. Nicely seen and captured.

You've captured the movement and drama very well in this scene. As someone else mentioned I feel like I'm about to get soaked.

I like the blues, and the stormy clouds/verga. Looks like a couple of small islands off in the distance?
