Taken on my last trip to San Diego down at Shelter Island. The big white puffy clouds just south of downtown got my attention initially.

Nice one well done. Not a very strong comp in this. Maybe add some contrast. Still nice one

Hey Mike,
Might be more appropriate for travel.....but I'll let Robert do the dirty work! Agree with a bit more contrast....but for me the tough part is the lack of seperation.....which I know can be very difficult in these situations....just too much merging going on for my tastes......let's see what others chime in.

Beautiful B&W. I agree with Roman on separation. Removing some of the foreground (water) could help putting more emphasis on the boats while putting the horizon line off-center.

Moved to travel. But I do like it and feel the B&W treatment suits it well.
