Critique Club Review:

Color, Saturation, and Hue: N/A Image is monochrome (black and white)

Brightness and contrast: Brightness and contrast are very well done. The dark areas are nice and inky black. The bright areas are not taken beyond the limits, and still hold detail.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is excellent, and depth of field is appropriate to the subject.

Wow! I wish I had something this magestic to look at on my way home. I like the drama of the clouds, the rays of the sun lighting the water. It was an excellent choice to do this in black and white. Color would have taken the attention away from the light.

I think you could crop the left side a bit. The foreground object do compete with the rays of light slightly.

This is a very strong composition and very well done.

Probably too much detail for 640 pixels. I'd love to see the large version.
