Hi Adrian,
I like the silhouette very much and the colors and textures in the sky are very nice.....nicely done at 3.8......I debated a slight crop off the top for a while........but the darker area at the top does balance the bottom area in the water nicely. Well seen and composed!

Adrain,

I like the comp and the clouds are spectacular but this is begging for more contrast. I posted a version below followed by the curves correction I did. After the curves I did a Shadows/Highlights adjustment to open up the shadows (35/25/30 settings in PSCS3) which is mostly at the top and bottom.

Curves adjustment in PSCS3 for the above.

The repost does have a great deal of appeal. Perhaps a bit of toning the repost down. But with the raw file it probably would really sing. Very nice colors and good drama in the sky. The crop could go either way. Nice potential here.
