incredible cloud formation…...i love the way the background is dark, grey and has a sense of dread, but the light, bright green of the headland brings the hope of better things to the image, well at least that what i see…lol!
reflector replied
Interesting thoughts Peter ! The greens in there for a contrasting colour and texture and to fill out the scene.
