Nice. Looks warm, kind of that light and feeling just before the thunder and lightning is starting.

nice image but i feel the balance is off, my eyes are drawn to the clear skies on the left of the pic, also the brightness from the left seems to have caused an underexposure, I can't help feeling that the pic sould have been taken from the other side of the road look more into the dark clouds

Very imaginative shot. Wonderful landscape. A little bit of the sky would have added a lot of depth to this picture. The sky looks really nice in the background and by showing a little bit of the mountain to the left it would have been great.

This photo here reminds me so much of Waimea...haven't been there in a long time. Vanishing point is there and the wooden fence post gives this a nice country feel. Good luck in the challenge.

I really like this photo. The effect is quite dramatic. I have a couple of suggestions. The red and white tags area bit distracting it would have been nice if they had been removed before the shot. The other is that the the bonsai trees are a bit dark. I see that the sun was coming from behind the trees. In a program like Photoshop you may be able to adjust the levels to bring them up in brightness a bit. Also a slightly lower angle would be interesting so that the top tree had its leaves sitting against the sky (possibly). I don't mean to be critical I just think that the idea behind the shot is so interesting that with the right treatment this could be a truly exceptional shot. The kind that wins awards etc. Good luck with your photography. You obviously have an eye for a good shot.
