This photo was taken in Kauai at the town of Hanapepe which is on the southwest coast of the island. A great many of the boat excursions leave from there including the 60 Ft. catamaran we boarded for a Na'Pali coast tour shortly after I shot this. We were in the sunshine but rains and mist hung over Waimea where we were headed as you can see from the sky. While we were out a nasty storm came up making the boatride a disaster for anyone prone to motion sickness (uhh that would be me)! But I did like the contrasts in this shot which shows Kauais' very changeable weather. All comments appreciated.

Did the storm pack a little Hawaiian Punch? Gorgeous shot with that cloudy sky and the mountains. I love the different color boats too. Excellent image.

Kathy - The strong contrast of sunlight and rain covered mountains was a challenge that you handled well. Sorry you got ill on the boat; had I been there, you would have had company on hanging on the rail. Thad

I really like the vibrant colors and moody sky, There does seem to some loss of detail in the hillsides in the background.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography.

I love the way the light is catching the boats in the foreground, Kathy. And I can't say I share Roger's and Sandi's reservations about the distant hills. I expect hills, near the coast especially, to be hazy. I really love the way the warm foreground colours recede into the distant blueness. And I really like the frame too.

Beautiful shot, the hills on the distant horizon are so nice to watch.

What of a adventure you lived in this place Kathy! But you are right, the photo contrast and the composition are in a very beautiful balance! Congratulations!

Actually I prefer landscapes; so I'll give this one a critique that I hope makes some sense. The colors are superb. The hillsides/mountains are very similar to the ones around here. Since it rarely rains here, the clouds are something I'm not used to seeing. They appear to be quite threatening. I like the varied greens in the background.
Because the geography in your photo appears to be similar to where I take many of my photographs, I recognize some of the same traits that concern me in my photos. The distant hillsides seem blurred by the sheer distance. I can barely tell that there are layers of hills. I know when I look at the local hills with my eye, there are varying shades of blue-gray based on the distance. For some reason my camera does not capture that depth. Your photo had the same limitations. Is it because this was taken with a telephoto lens?
I'll be interested to see what everybody else thinks because maybe I can figure out why my mountain photos are so similar to this one. I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
