Wow. Excellent scene. By looking at your image, I would not have immediately guessed the D and L. I would have labeled it like 'boats and sky' or something like that.
As for the image. The focus seems a bit soft. I'd like to see some real sharp focus on either the boats, or the water as well as the sky. The sky seems ok soft as is, but seems to be somewhat grainy-ish.
The background, while beautiful seems to have an unlevel appearance along the horizontal line. Someone mentioned barrel distortion from wide angle lens. If this is the case, I believe it can be fixed post processing.
The lighting is beautiful. I really like the seperation of the light and dark. It works nicely with the rain cloud thing only bearing down on one area.

This would be a real stunner but it could use a little sharpening

The barrel distortion from the wide angle lens is clearly visible along the horizon. This would be a much stronger composition if the boat in the center had sharper focus.

It looks like it is raining on that one boat (I know it's in the distance). Nice colors.

This is so cool looks like only one boat is having a rain storm. Very good, right place at the right time.

Beautiful scene. Those clouds are glorious. The boats help ground the shot.

If I didn't know who this was I wouldn't know it was a musician. No mike, or guitar, looks like a portrait to me. 6
