Quite deceived by the rating... But, well, thanks for the comment anyways ; )
At least I can understand some of these low scores for a photo that seems to me technically ok and esthetically good IMPO (in my pretencious opinion).
Next time I'll try to get more explicit about the storm!
In fact, the photo was taken in a short moment of relief, in the middle of a stormy week end.
cheers

Who determines whether the photo shows stormy weather? I submitted a photo taken at the start of a typhoon and it was disqualified because it did not show a typhoon? Were you here when the photo was taken? I can say the same thing of many of the submissions.
