 Free Study's are brutal.

This was the coolest cloud I've ever seen. It took 5 shots wide to capture the whole thing. Originally I entered a wide angle shot of it but I figured it wouldn't have the Wow factor as just a slice would.

Wonderful cloud formation! I would have liked to have seen a little more space around it on both sides to give it a little context.

Think it would improve the picture to lighten the foreground just a bit.
