Looking out of the window of our jet heading into Hong Kong, I noticed that the towering cumulous clouds were reflecting on the surface of the South China Sea and could not resist digging my camera out of my carry-on and making this image.
It was hard to define the exact boundaries between cloud, sea, and sky. It is this ambiguity that gives this image its incongruous fascination and great beauty. Shooting through the heavy plastic window of an airliner may not be the best way to make photographs, but in photographic expression, content is always more important than form. And this image works as expression.
