It's interesting how the water is choppy on the right, but calmer on the left. Obviously the wind is coming from the right. Personally I'd like to see a little more definition in the clouds. Right now the whole top of the picture is pretty much dead space.

Thankyou for the words. :)

I agree. The sky is a bit bland.
And yes, I had the waves in mind while taking the picture.
I figured this would look good in a lighter BW conversion, but with a good amount of contrast. (To define the waves)

I'll see if I can do anything with the clouds maybe later. For now, I enjoy the emptiness. Gives room for the tower to catch your eye.

I like that composition. I bet that would be an amazing shot with a very long exposure!

Thank you. :)

I was planning on coming back at night to do just that, but I ended up not going through with that plan.
I'm sure I'll do it next time.
