Hi Lucas, greetings from the Critique Club!

First of all, I scored your image a 6, mostly because of the great contrast on the road, but we'll get to that :)

Composition
Wonderful balance between sky and ground. The two are fighting for attention, and you always keep coming back to both. The horizon is level and the leading lines provided by the road marks are great.

Technique / Lighting
Good exposure all around, it could be just a tad brighter, but it's nitpicking.
For your lens, you could have a smaller aperture, it will make your photo sharper. Your lens should reach peak sharpness at around f/5,6 or f/6, and you could sacrifice just a little ISO (or shutter speed, if you had a tripod).

Processing
Brilliant contrast on the road and water, it's just so very defined, it's great to see it.
The only thing wrong is that you didn't take advantage of the 800px size limit, your photo could be so much more appealing if it were on full size.

Still, for your second entry is a very good effort, and the Title / Relation to challenge is perfect.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao

Look how those white lines pop! And they lead you on to the shore line. Great capture of those angry clouds. I really enjoy this image.
