Clouds were doing a very weird pattern in the skies the other. Really wasn't shooting for this challenge. Initial picture had trees below. Just went to square crop, nothing taken off the side. Pretty much a "Snapshot"
Post Added contrast, and a white, black, and three neutral control points to mess with the colors. Originally just blue and white. Sized to 720. Noise Reduction. Added slight unsharp mask. Lost of bit of detail with the noise reduction (need to get better in post). Not using any of the expert ruleset.
Not expecting too much. I have a feeling the field is going to be filled with full frame portraits. Thought I would try something different. It is a fairly boring shot. Guessing a 4.7
Post Challenge:
Here is the full-format, non-crop (which I like better, but DNMC)

I just voted on this last night and really loved it. I think you did a good job with the clouds. I think that the sharp color change may have hurt you in voting but I'm from Team Suck and I love this stuff. Good job.
