Evening in the Cove

This is from Tom's Cove on Assateague island near it's southern extent in Virginia, where it is also part of the Chincoteague wildlife refuge. We had afternoon thunderstorms and some of the clouds hung around into the evening. Luckily the tide was out in the salt marsh and I squished my way through the spartina grass to the shore of the cove where there was some vivid green sea lettuce in the flotsam just as sun was peeking out from the storm clouds.

C&C welcome

Great high key processing Robert if that was your intentions. I'm more of a low key guy so I wouldn't mind seeing the cloud a little more ominous but it's great as is!

Robert,

Great sky. At first I thought the clouds were on either side with a gap in the middle. It's almost an optical illusion or better yet, an ink blot test! Took a second, but now I see what's going on in the sky. A terrific sky and sunset. My suggestion would be to crop out at least 1/2 or maybe 2/3 of the green/grassy foreground. You've got quite a bit of it and it's not really adding to the scene or comp. I think that would result in a stronger image. Just my .02.
