The UK yesterday had flash floods - I just made it to St. Mary's Lighthouse before one of the storms hit - it was mostly sheet lightening so no forks!!! However, captured this just as the storm began to break...

All comments/critique welcome.

I love it.. I think it's a superb shot.
There's probably hundreds of thousands of photos of places like this.. but you got the perfect atmosphere!

One note.. I don't think the object in the forground adds anything.
Don't know if it cn "go away" though.

Trevor,
I've never said that it's lousy - I said it was the drama of Scotland!

CDS,
Thanks for your comments, as the storm was coming in fast there was no time for much composition - I tried cropping the fence and bouy out but it didn't look right. There's only one thing which would have made the shot better in my view - a ray of light from the lighthouse!
