It does look like a painting... Love the subtle shades of color blending into each other, the slightly turquoise sea and the paler shade of blue in the sky. And of course the 3D clouds scudding across the sky.

Gaeljet this is a super one, I like the fact the HDR is not overdone. Agree with above comment, it looks like a painting, and I like the foreground too. An excellent post
