		| | The sky looks ominous.  My trigger happy contrast-adjusting finger would have a heyday with this (more contrast!  more contrast! more contrast!)  :) |

 I would agree, perhaps right below the bushy grass in the front?  I love the colors of this, and the storm certainly looks foreboding.

		| | Those clouds look scary, and you can see the white birds flying in them. |

		| | Plenty of summer storms up your way so I̢۪m sure we can expect more storm shots from you.  Personally, I love them.  I do like the colour in the sky and how it contrasts against the grass.  Nice. |

		| | Welcome,  jacko3d.  Oddly enough, I have been to Makay. Well, a long time ago in the '80s and visited, with friends, a nearby
 mountaintop where hang gliders took off.  Amazing sight and amazing view from there.
 I do like this pastoral scene with the foreboding clouds overhead.  If it
 was mine, I'd probably crop out a bit of the grass in front to draw more
 attention to the storm and horizon.

		| | Yup - that looks like the green green grass of Mackay! Nice processing without overcooking. |

		| | I would have made more of the white birds flying across that ominous cloud! very good for a first attempt! |

		| | The critters in the field don't seem worried just yet, but those clouds are certainly a bit ominous! |

		| | Love those clouds.  I like it when storms come in like this.  Such a beautiful scene you captured. |

		| | Those are some ominous looking clouds... nicely balance with the lush pastures. |

		| | Welcome!  Nice use of hdr! It has the impact, but not that typical overdone view. The white sheep (or are it goats?) are giving some nice contrast here. |

		| | Welcome aboard!!  The clouds form a great line leading to the horizon. Nice eye for that. It would be great to place a subject in the foreground for even more added interest. |

		| | id crop out and inch of the bottom grass, no detail in it and distracts from the sky, could do with a little more definition in the clouds. is it square cropped? |

		| | For a first photo on this site, and for a beginner, this is an interesting photo with good colour.  I like the stormy clouds and the birds in the sky.  Well done. |
