Cool! What the heck is it? :) The arrangement of the clouds couldn't be any better! You might be able to fiddle with levels adjustment or selective color a bit to make the whites a bit brighter (assuming you have Photoshop) - it's a very cool shot, but a bit dark overall, would love to see the whites in the foreground subject pop out at you.

Hee - looks like you confused a lot of folks with this - but I know exactly what it is! Truly a lovely blue sky, too. You exposed well for the sky but the boot could use just a touch more light to it. Still, I like this - very appropriate for the challenge, too!

I'm not sure what this is, but I like the patterns and the contrast with the sky

Oh yeah! I'd recognize those boots anywhwere :) Amazing capture. I've never seen that structure look so incredibly striking! Ilove the vibrant colors in this and dead-on focus. I love this one. . .and think it is perfectly executed. Flawless, so I'm giving it a 10!
