Cold, bleak and seriously windswept.
Bloody stunning.

I have seriously thought about taking up watercolour painting for 2020 onwards
I'm guessing you can imagine which direction that will be going in ?
There is a rather nice gallery here in Bridlington old town who have shown an interest.

Look at the Brian Griffin shot for Depeche Mode album sleeve 'Broken Frame' now that is a cool Sky. Similar lines to yours

It was my intention to turn these images into photographs that look nothing like photographs. These are now in the process of being printed on to Hahnemuhle Albrect Durer fine art paper so that they look even less like photographs and more like art. At some point, when they arrive back from the printers, they will be presented to the local gallery having been framed. If you can't paint but can take photographs that look as though they're painted then do it is what I say. I sold a similar one taken in Lincolnshire last year just before Xmas with a similar kind of processing. There are always folk out there who like them.

Cheers Brian. Much appreciated.

My biggest issue with digital photography is the quality of the images that modern cameras produce. They are just too sharp and too clear, so much so that they continually look false. This is OK for some of my stuff but certainly not stuff like this where I am relying on grittiness and graininess. As a result of that I have to post process my stuff using software. If I were still using medium or large format and darkroom printing this would not be possible. This look relies on digitising and processing. I am just hoping that the printed presentations look OK when they turn up from the printers.

Goes with anything digital may it be Photography sound or vision.

Same here. I think it's a stunning image and can see what Shaun was striving to achieve. Nature creates intricate combinations of light and shade, which takes great skill to successfully capture on canvas or in print.
