"Ordinary shots of rain or overcast skies will be considered off topic"

Sometimes it is difficult to capture wind, but if you look at the whitecaps, I think this is more than an "ordinary" shot of a storm. I like the fast moving storm with the clear horizon behind. Storms over the ocean are visually interesting because of the rain coming down in the horizon and also the clearning in another part. I think you did a great capture of the diversity of this storm. Good job!!!
