Great Black and White Photographers part 3

The thing that really caught my eye with Uelsmann's photography was that he does the unthinkable. There's always something behind his pictures and that's really cool to look in the picture and it's like movie going on. He amazes me because it's like not one of his pictures do I think that it's not impressing enough or that it's too simple because he takes it to another level.

Hurricane Ike

I think that this picture follows the composition rule for framing because the land is surrounded by the waters from hurricane Ike and it's basically "framing" the land. I don't think it's the best frame, but I really liked this picture because of how AMAZING it looks and it almost doesn't look believable.
