| My sister-in-law (not a photographer) got one of those "Come out and bring your camera!" shots last winter. Also Co. Springs. Awesome mamata clouds. Colorado Springs is one of those places you get great sky shots. Learn to set your Eos to bracket without looking at the controls. |

| This shot is something else! Weird clouds... Can you say Close Encounters? I think the cropping is great. It shows the blue skies behind the clouds and, as you said, the building gives you a perspective on how HUGE the spaceship cloud was!!! Well done and a great ribbon winner! |

| Returning for a revisit. I think this sky is quite fascinating and your post processing almost lends a surreal beauty. I think you did a good job in creating a lot of drama here. I question whether you used gradient density effects on this image, as under basic editing rules, that is to my understanding forbidden. I'll assume your editing steps were within the limits of the challenge rules. Well done! |
