Just about right to my eyes. Very crisp, sharp and dramatic.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I guess it has to be to your taste really, but I find it unnaturally dark.

I had been on Orkney for about 8 days, and every day was stormy.
I was getting the ferry home and spotted this image.
In colour, the sky, water and the houses all seem apart.
I thought if I convert to B&W, and darken the sky and water, there would be a relationship between all elements ?

A bit dark, but that makes it all northern and dramatic. I also very much like the composition. And doesn't the clear sky work? I usually like nice clearly defined clouds but this is better without.
Well done, sir!

Love it! It is dark but I don't think it's too dark. Fantastic detail and crispness. Really great shot.
