Brewing Storm (Sky II)

@Mackenzie: thanks Mackenzie. this was purely good luck and good timing, since I took this [uncropped] shot from a moving boat.

@Nicolas Marguerie: thank you.

@GJC: Thanks for your comments GJC.

I did consider cropping this shot to move the horizon either up or down to the 1/3 mark, but didn't want to lose either the light in the sky above the city or the black water in the foreground. In the end I decided that although having the horizon bisect the shot is technically 'incorrect' and a central subject tends to feel static, I liked having the city in the static centre with all the energy of air and water around it.

I've uploaded a couple of crops here and here. As well as changing the composition, the crops emphasize the soft focus that results from the rain, the motion of the boat, and the large aperture and slow shutter speed. Let me know what you think.
