    Before the rain - B&W

    C&C appreciated

    PS. I don't know why but I'm seeing the image elongated Logging out and loggin in again might be helpful to see the image with its correct dimensions.

    PS. I have just noiced that the color of the frame is not very suitable , I will fix it later .

    Very nice Binnur, that sky is amazing and the water is crystal clear and sharp.

    I particularly like the lines that are suggested by the path between the rocks, and the bottom of the clouds -it creates an X shape that takes the eye to the horizon. IMO, just get rid of the frame entirely - you could try a hint of vignette instead which will emphasise the lines to the centre of the image.

    I like that the clouds converge at about the same place the rocks converge. Well done!

    Very nicely composed and captured Binnur.

    Binnur, beautiful shots, the clouds are striking, the entire scene is somewhat ominous.
    Two thoughts; maybe a bit more contrast in the sky/clouds to bring out a bit more detail and (maybe an optical illusion but) the horizon appears tilted a bit down to the left, maybe a slight clockwise rotation?

    Very nice image. It gives me an ominous feeling about the oncoming weather...

    Lovely shot Binnur! We have had massive flooding in my area so I am very family with the forboding look of ominous clouds.

    Binnur...lovely image and lovely composition. I like that you had mixed the slow shutter speed and the texture of the water is not really milky. The clouds, I am not sure about...it is not a dislike but a preference for the natural looking cloud than taken with slow motion or something like that. I cannot explain,but just like water, I prefer a faster shutter speed because clouds moves...with the wind, with the rotation of the earth. I hope that is a better explanation...

    Hi Binnur,

    I can't comment on b&w but as always beautifully composed and photographed. I adore the mood, the pebbles in the foreground, the layers of rocks, and especially the sky which I think is magical.

    When I move the image around in the lytebox I'm also fond of it cropped square (just a little off of the left side) because it seems to emphasize the shape of the clouds/sky overlooking the rocks, and also the dark mood. But at the cost of losing that wispy line of cloud.

    I have yet to even try photographing an image like this, so thank you for the inspiration.

    Very nice, Binnur. Like Jack, I thought the horizon appeared to be dipping to the left and I also wondered whether it needed a bit of perspective correction. Lovely scene, though. I'm wanting to dip my toes in that water.

    Great composition and conversion both of which come together very well. Well spotted and captured Binnur

    Very nice composition and tonal contrast. It's interesting how the clouds and rocks seem to have similar forms.

    I notice that when I reload the page, the images switches between square and elongated.

    my only change would be to have the horizon closer to 1/3 mark.
