Stormy sea

Here is a photo of a storm at sea, with a log of driftwood in the foreground. Like many photographers, I will at times try to find an object in the foreground to add depth to a distant scene being photographed.

We are showing photos of the Borromeo Islands of Lake Maggiore, Italy, this week on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.

    I'm all for blue skies and turquoise/emerald waters, but I have to agree stormy seas make for some really great photos like this one is. Fantastic!

    I have to agree with JM. This makes a most dramatic photo!

    The sea can be a frightening place...it is so very powerful. One gets a real sense of that in a hurricane!

    Thanks for your kind words, Dave. They mean a lot!

    This must be what they call an angry sea! Beautiful!

    Low and dark sky reflecting in the sea is so powerful.
    Some photographers find out about compositional laws in their friends' blogs..

    These storms you show us from time to time are so dramatic. This is a moody, moving shot.
