Interesting Photo--reminds me a lot of my days on the coast! IMHO, this photo is all about the dark/gloomy/stormy mood. That being the case, the fg here doesnt really add anything. Personally, Id crop the bottom 1/3ish. You might also play with a B&W version--that might work well here.

It's almost 2 images stacked together - color bottom 1/2 and b&w at top. So I agree with Stan that an all b&w with bottom 1/3 cropped might make the strongest image. I think there's more to work with here.

I liked this for the incongruity as much as anything, but wasn't sure if it worked, for just the reasons noted. Well, I actually have some longer lens views of just the background stacks and clouds, so I'll get to work with those!
Thanks.

Daniel,
Pretty standard fare from the Oregon coast, but the mood is captured well. I'm with Barry on the transition from almost b&w to color as you move from top to bottom - I find that aspect pretty interesting and adds to the mood of the coast. I don't mind the foreground at all. I like that it brings the color in to the scene.
