I liked this photo from the thumbnail. But, when viewing the full image I find the blackened sky to be too oppressive. I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve with that effect, but I don't like it.

Other than the blackened sky, I do like the extreme contrast elsewhere in the image.

How diferent we are on this world. I love this dramatic contrast, this atack of dark, this game of white. it looks that sky will fall down. I like those shadows.

Fine composition. The foreground is very good with the boat casting that beautiful dark shadow. The sky looks partly good, partly too dark. I am not so sure about your B&W choice. Titicaca has some excellent blue skies and I wonder how this pic looks in colour.

I find this to be an interesting shot and something that was worth experimenting with like you have done here.

Nice photo! I like the simplicity of the subject and the light/shadow contrast. B&W hightlights this contrast. Indeed the sea is quite dark, but contributes to put the subject in more evidence

Great composition. Very dramatic. An unusual conversion to BW. I would be very interested to know how you converted this to BW to get this dark tones.

what comes naturally to me after seeing this shot is poetry. nice use of the two objects in the foreground. great use of BW. well done.
