There is a white halo over the land that probably comes from oversharpening, contrast boosting, or highlight adjustment that distracts heavily. The pure whites in the upper left are also a little harsh on the eyes. These are minor things that mostly kept me from really wanting to look too long at the left side of the image, but not bad enough to dock points for that alone (it did contribute to the less than optimal interest score, however).
The rays of light coming out of the clouds held my attention for quite some time, though, looking at how the light played out over the clouds moving to the right. There's something out in the center (boats?), but I can't make out what it is, so it only serves as a distraction. I also wouldn't really know what to make of the title without your comments.
Black and white sea shots in general don't really grab me that well, either. Other than a mild interest in the lighting, there's nothing really memorable or evocative about the shot. |
