Running with the autumn wind

I'm quite pleased with it overall, particularly the way it's worked using only 2 colours and the wind-dog. Az (grey) looks just a bit stiff, and the camera hasn't quite picked up the sparkly yellow highlights in the foreground. I'm not quite sure about the lighting, though you get the general idea, the beams of light coming through the clouds onto the sea are maybe a bit solid and splodgy...

I really like this. I like the idea of the wind as a dog. I think the light works well: it's the way it reflects of the river further inland that appeals to me in particular. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks! I'm not sure about the light on the sea - it looks fabulous when it does that in real life (for some reason there is often a gap in the clouds just over Plymouth, perhaps something to do with all the houses changing the local weather, or maybe it's the river) but I think I need to practice more to give it that really luminous translucent quality. But you can see where I'm trying to go with it.
