The infamous island of Iwo Jima, under an approaching typhoon. In the distance you see Mount Suribachi where the famous Joe Rosenthal photo of the US Marines raising the flag was taken on Feb. 23rd 1945. (5 years and 3013 days ago)
Lovely rocks, but a couple of suggestions, try using curves to lighten the rocks a little to bring back details in the shadows, but don't lighten the sky, a bit more detail would be great there too. Also the horizon needs straightening, and I'd crop some of the sky, at the moment the horizon is in the middle, crop so the sky take up only 1/3 of the image.

Thank you Friiskiwi. I worked on it a bit. The curves aren't something I have worked with much but I think I was able to bring out more detail in the rocks. Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.
