 When I took this photo, I new I had something nice. But when I got back to the computer and started messing with the colors, it was really starting to stand out. Then I decided to try out B&W, and suddenly the photo really came alive. The drama in the sky combined with the anchor or land on the right works well together to make something I feel is a bit magical.

Beautiful clouds. It's like the sky is catching the reflections off the water.

My favorite of this challenge so far. The clouds in the top third look really cool on my monitor. I can almost see a little movement.
