Even on a cloudy, shadow-less rainy day I can make the short drive down to the ocean driven waters that are Puget Sound, look around at the vast landscape, listen to the waves crash on the shore and realize I am damn lucky to live in the Northwest.

Where else can a day like this be worthy of a picture?

My $0.02.

Nice and atmospheric, just needs a level horizon.

Pretty shot. It looks like someone was getting rained on. ;)

Hey thanks for letting me know. I have a hard time telling with this lens at 10mm. It looks like it needs a CCW rotation right? If I follow the water line then I'd say yes, but the far shore on the left side of the picture is miles closer than the distant shore on the right.\

What do you all think?

Agreed...

Slight twist CCW.

Just scroll down the page in your web browser until the horizon touches the top of the screen, then you can see how off it is. :)
