I honestly expected this to do better. I mean, seven 1's, nine 2's and twenty three 3's?!

I really appreciate the comments though, so thank you all :)

Ooooooookkkkkkk. I will never get DPC voters. I was one of the 6 who gave your shot a 10. Have people never seen an aerial view of a hurricane? I thought this was great and as usual am disappointed how low photos I like tend to score.

Háteigskirkja. One of the most beautiful churches in Iceland. Nice work.

This is a wonderful image and even better creativity. My only critique would be to shoot at f22 (or as high as you can go) as something like this I feel needs pinpoint sharpness on all of the links.

I hope this wins - should do.

I am sure many will say it's nothing to do with storms technically, but, well, boo hoo to them! You have my only 10

Returning for comments:
A very good analogy presenting the vortex or eye.

Could have benefited from higher contrast- whites should have been whiter. Great composition, though- the blacks make a nice abstraction.

Late afternoon coffee

Originally posted by helgihelgi: Thanks for the comments people, really appreciated. And regarding the comment that it was too dark for a late afternoon: I agree, and perhaps 'a late night coffee' would've been more appropriate, but this is actually taken at around 4 PM if I recall correctly. This time of year in Iceland the sun rises between noon and 1PM, and goes back down at around 4 PM. It's pretty surreal, and I suspect magnus can vouch for this ;)

I guess for those of us closer to the equator, we expect 4PM to be bright and sunny! I didn't see it as too dark for Late afternoon, My comment on too dark was just stated as hard to see! It is a really good photo though :)

I hope this does well. You deserve it for the play on words and nailing the theme! I just wonder how many will grasp the signifigance of the chain link and your titile. Slightly out of focus. BOL 6
