A huge storm was approaching from behind, and a couple of minutes after this shot (taken from my car), it poured really hard. That was the last blue we saw in the sky that day.

CC hello bigboy.... I feel like MaeWest.
P.S. Welcome to the group-great first entry.

Fits The Challenge-Yes
Composition-Beautiful
Background-Amazing
My Opinion-Very nice shot. The colors in the sky are deep, rich, and vivid. The DOF is great....gotta love that Sony (pains me to say but true.)
Looks like a tie on the lower 1/4 to crop or not to crop. Personally I don't think the plane/tower add to the shot. The sky is so strong it can stand on it's own. On the other hand......it allows the eye to cover the full shot and find suprise and interest. Nice shooting, good shot.

Spectacular colors and depth. I have no critique, except, AWESOME! I do love the jet landing and the tower. Very subtle

I love this shot, and the purples :)
04/19/2003 09:07:04 AM
the tower/ plane of the airport really add to this.
04/18/2003 04:57:41 PM
....and gloom! Great shot.
04/18/2003 04:18:16 PM
sorry for the duplicate, if it is....good shot. I would have clipped the things at the bottom out.
04/18/2003 11:13:14 AM
Great shot!
04/17/2003 01:59:09 PM
good job, nice picture
04/16/2003 11:17:01 PM
Beautiful clouds.. great color. The plane is so small it gets lost in the picture but does add some perspective.
04/16/2003 06:14:13 AM
Nice clouds. I'm not sure why you kept the plane and the tower at the bottom. It doesn't seem to add anything to the photo. I don't like the gradient boarder.
04/15/2003 10:25:34 PM
nice. were they really purple or did you make them that way.. i see a plane and something sticking out at the bottom. wish that would be gone with a little tighter crop
04/15/2003 12:42:47 PM
Great colors! Probably would have been better to include either more or less of the items at the bottom of the shot, though (airport?).
04/15/2003 10:12:01 AM
Scarey!!! Wicked colors there, very angy and stormy clouds. The plane in the background works here!
04/15/2003 02:52:00 AM
your border is a bit too thick. Whatever that tiny thing is on the bottom, I'd have liked to see a bit more of it to really give that sense of doom these dark clouds are bringing. :)

Wow that's truely awsome looking. Very powerfull cloud shot!! The "tiny" airplanes in the background give the shot so much perspective. 10. Whoot, a possible winner here.

This is an excellent image. The horizon is well placed, the exposure is right on, the clouds you've captured frame the picture well. Just an overall excellent photograph. The color adds a lot, too.

interesting way of fading out border from top to bottom.
04/14/2003 07:17:37 PM
Lovely title...8
04/14/2003 03:54:02 PM
i think you should have either cut the airport/airplane completely out or left more of them in. does look pretty ominous, however.
04/14/2003 02:11:49 PM
Very nice. I love the little pixel plane and tower. Great shot.

Atmospheric.

The miniscule little airplane and tower make this picture even better. Nice coloring and great sense of impending doom.

Is that a plane down there? Hrm, not sure if the bottom section is to give it a reference point or not, but I'm leaning toward finding it slightly distracting. The clouds themselves are great - very dramatic. The range of colors, almost like a gradient are a nice change from the usual.
