Breakthrough Photo

Photographer’s Note

One my way on my scooter to meet up with my girl and the weather was kinda grey. But as I closed in on my date, the clouds changed and just above the rooftops where my girl lives the sun shines through:)
Romantic ey? hehe

Hei P.C.

Nice image, I like the photo, but you could have captuerd more of the water. I think that would have improoved the image a bit. Other than that this is a very nice shot. TFS.

There is certainly plenty of drama in the sky. The clouds are so black and then as you say the sun breaks through. Possibly a bit more sea would have been preferable, but that sky is wonderful.

Interesting shot, it has great potential, but I feel there are some issues that need to be fixed before it is perfect.
Adding the thin strip of water would work as a good effect, but in this case it only works to bring an element of confusion to the photo. My first look at the photo made me think this was some sort of strange framing effect. Better to simply crop it away. If using 1/3 rules, I would either have more water or simply omit it completely.
Sky looks very dramatic, lots of colour and light elements, but maybe a little too dramatic?
The area on the left is the big downgrade for the photo, it is simply too overexposed. The sky around this area and the clouds get a very negative effect of this hard light. I would cut away that area and try with a more square frame, but it is up to you.
