Hello Horia,
What an amazing shot (especially in the bigger-size version). Trully expressionist image. I like very much the light, the heavy clouds and the baclit rain. Great record from the USA trip.
Best greetings & TFS!

Great picture. Maybe a little too dark, but it has its own mood and is very impressive

Hi, dear Horia.
You have no problem with using this lens. You managed skillfully reflect this amazing nature phenomenon and reproduce rich light tones of the scenery. Large version is especially impressive. Composition and cropping are perfect too (not only storm is perfect). Superb done and Bravo.

Hello Horia,
Perfect storm, no perfect picture of the storm. Splendid image you share with us today.
The storm looks threating, yet with the light beams maybe it cleared. Thanks for your great work.

This is surely a good title for a magnificent picture. This image carries a mood with it... a feeling if you will. I am sure all see it in their own way. You have tied it to a movie and the movie does not have a "happy" ending... but as a drama is is a superb flick and your picture might have been used in advert. Well done.

Hi Horia,
A perfect storm, but also a perfect photo. The rays of light that shine through the thick clouds and rain are simply amazing. I love the texture you managed to capture in the clouds and the very subtle difference in shades. The silver color of the water has reflected the water very beautifully. My favorite part of the photo must be the silhoutte of the island with trees on the far right of the photo. But, the entire photo is a favorite thus added to mine.
TFS,
Niek

Dear Horia,
Beautiful, very dramatic composition! I like almost black-white colours and the "play of light".
Fantastic panoramic presentation and very good control of light and shadows!
What can I say more, it is just lovely! :)
Best regards my Friend!
