Hey John, welcome to the forum!! I see that we are neighbors...=)

As far as the pictures go......
It looks like you got to see a pretty cool storm coming through on vacation.
The shots overall seem a little too dark for me. You are losing a lot of detail in the clouds and ground (water).
#4 has the most potential to me. I like the composition. You also in this shot caught the feel of the storm. The angle of the rain and the detail in the clouds creates that feel. You even have a little bit of a storyline w/ the boat about to be hit. What would make the shot better to me is tryig to pull more detail out of the water and clouds.
Keep shooting!!

Number #4 is terrific! I agree with Mishele's comments and since your cool with editing, I had a go at giving those storm clouds more drama and detail.

I do like the ship in the pictures because I think it give it more more sense of how big these clouds are and the size of the storm. It does add to the story.

Thanks. That edit does look a lot better. I will see what else I can do to make it look better and bring out more detail.
