Overall, this piece is brilliant portraying a moody and dark image through the subtle contrasts of the Black and White used in the image.

The vision is crystal clear, with stormy skies and Seagulls trying out their plight in the harsh winds. The sea is rushing in, and the skies are harsh and different. This image as with the other critique wouldn't be as effective with color, as it would ruin the vision you're creating with this black and white one.

This piece is original and the technique you have used is clear. You have gone for a landscape, showing the true brutality of Mother Nature.

This piece overall is brilliant, impacting the user in the best way possible whilst giving an objective view.

Well done! A pat on the back too you!

First of all, this shot being taken in black and white is what really makes this piece come togetherl. I'm not sure the piece would have the same effect if it was in color.
When I first saw this shot, I was in awe. From the rolling gray storm clouds, to the crashing waves on the shore as the storm comes in, to the birds flocking together to battle the storm, this piece shows the true natural beauty of life near the ocean.
I really like the rocks in the background. They tell of the beauty and strength of the sea, to make mountains turn to sand and dust at the breaking of the waves.
At first glance, the seagulls at the bottom of the page are nearly unnoticeable; but, on further inspection, one is able to see the small birds huddled together. This brings us to further knowledge that there is life near the sea.
All in all, this is an amazing shot, and I congratulate you on your success.
