It is the contrast of colours that adds the most to the shot i think. Good composition, I like how much of the storm you have in the picture. Good capture

Hello Kate,
I prefer it in colour! the colours are very expressive. IMHO, the B&W version would lose "emotions". Colours are also very important for our perception of the world, aren't they?? just like music.
Interesting composition. It's curious that you chose this POV, with the boat on the right - in a way it is a balance for the heavy threatening clouds; and the colour of the boat matches the bright orange-white stripe near the horizon.
Best regards,
Elena

Hi Kate,
I would note convert it to B&W, it is the colors (especially the different greens of the water) that make this dramatic impression very attractive. Great management of the light! TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hello Kate:

A great composition, no doubt, and the elements are distributed across the stage very well.

The frame is balanced, shows a variety of hues and particularly, a proper handling of light.

Within your gallery, I consider it a great job, as all previous.

Special greeting from Colombia, John

Hi Kate,

This photo has a special feel to it I think - both dramatic with the dark clouds, but somehow more cheerful still with the bright colours of the boat and especially the soft orange-yellow light in the background. Well done!

But since you were having trouble deciding between colour and B/W... maybe both!? I posted a workshop using selective desaturation. Some people love this technique, others hate it. In your photo here though, I think it might make sense. :)

Cheers,
Jordan

Hi Kate,
the colors of the storm are amazing.
Great idea to include the bright element it introduces a contrast.
Congratulations,

Bonjour Kate.
J'aime beaucoup la force de cette photo. Le canot renversι du premier plan tranche avec ses couleurs et sa clartι avec le paysage sombre et noir qui l'entoure.
De la trθs belle photo !

Hi Kate,

This truly is an impressive storm and you have captured it well but there is one thing that is not sitting with me and that is the orange boat.
I really think it would have been a better shot if the whole boat was in frame by pulling back or alternatively a low POV taken down by the water with maybe some of those rocks in the foreground [without the boat] would have worked better IMHO. Of course this is all down to taste but I think the storm speaks for itself and the boat is distracting. Possibly the chap who did the workshop with selective desaturation might have gone the other way and desaturated the boat and left the colour in the sky, would that have worked ??

I'm still giving it full smiley though ;o)

Cheers

Matt

Ohhh this is brilliant - the colours work beautifully, contrasting each othewr... and with the closeness of the boat, it gives such a huge sense of depth and space.

I liked B&W photos but I guess this is better in colors. the soft golden hues in the clouds are fabulous. perfect their texture and nice idea to put the yellow boat in the foreground.; nice job

hugs

I love this photo. You captured the storm clouds well and the contrast between the boat and the sky is wonderful. Nice shot!
