Lovely image, and well-spotted! I love the way seascapes evoke the same emotions, no matter where they are.

Brilliant capture!
I like the wise use you have made of good stark contrasting lighting.

A great dramatic shot in the mountains of Spain! The white mountains show-up well and are a contrast against the dark grey rain clouds and rainbow colours. The sunlight creates a spectrum of beautiful rainbow colours when it hits the precipitation coming out of the clouds that is falling to the ground during an afternoon shower and will hopefully cool everything down after a long, hot summer’s day in August.
