Yes, the clouds are really amazing but the "S" of this water pouring quietly to the sea is a gret element of the image.
Beautiful !

@Gérard Beullac: Thanks Gérard. I spotted the clouds first and then I searched around on the beach for a good foreground until I found this 'S' curve in the water!

Ian, Great shot it looks like you had a great time on the north east coast. Agree with the earlier poster your articles on KIS and composition are excellent and look forward to the next one. Also congrats on PP entry.

Practical Photography - I was really pleased with the way the POTY comp went this year. Although I didn't win any of the 6 rounds like I did last year, getting photos shortlisted in 3 out of the 6 felt like a bigger achievement in a lot of ways!
