There are some really interestingly textured clouds in the center background. I also like the rainbow effect around the sun on the clouds, but the area is also slightly overexposed, so some of that color is lost.
Great distribution of clouds! I like the contrast with the sky, and the exposure is good
I like the large framing of this photo. Good focus. I like the natural look of the photo as well. I think you did a decent job with the challenging scenario of shooting into the sun.
The clouds have a really interesting dynamic going on. I like the contrast, the details are great. I also like the angle of the picture, it’s a neat perspective.
I really like how you were able to catch the iridescence in the sky. The technique that was used to capture this photo was great. I would like to see a higher res format of this photo
I really like the iridescent colors in the clouds where the sun is. There is a good layering effect going on also, where numerous different types of clouds are present at different elevations. I also like the fact that you kept the flatirons and trees in the bottom corner of the image to imply the location. Looks like it was a great day to take cloud pictures, great job!
The center of the image reminds me of sea ice floating in the ocean seen from above. I like like how you managed to frame a seemingly large portion of the sky into the image.
The large presence of clouds compliments the blue sky. I would possibly crop out the foreground.
A higher quality image would do this image more justice, ti looked very clean when projected in class. Check the format and make sure its not getting stretched during import too much. I appreciate the different formations shown, the smaller blobs between the larger clouds remind me of oil on top of water.
I really like how many clouds are in the frame. You can definitely see the different cloud formations and altitudes. No complaints here. Great job.
A wide range of types of clouds. Great contrast. I like how the flow can be clearly seen.
It looks like a nice, calm cloud structure that has a lot of interesting things going on. It would be worth checking out how the photo would look with the trees on the bottom cropped out.
Pretty pretty blue of the sky! Wonderful color constract bewtween cloud and sky. Different type of Clouds. Great image!
I like how the sun is shaded by the clouds and illuminates the rest of the clouds from behind. the edge of the photo looks like it is bending upwards which gives a unique perspective to the image.
Love how the clouds are dispersed all over the sky. The flat patchy ones in the middle right look really cool. The mountain and trees on the bottom provide a nice frame.
Good image! I like the different clouds all in one image. Good contrast
Art: The tonal contrast between the dark under clouds with the bright edges of the clouds is great.
Flow: The flow is quickly understandable and easily recognized.
Photographic technique: The focus of the Clouds is great, and the depth of field was also very well done with capturing both the higher clouds and the lower level clouds.
I like the details in the clouds, and the subtle refraction around the sun. The balance between whites and darks is nice, as well as the balance between clouds and blue sky. Nice picture!
Really like the deep blue sky and variety of clouds. Good shot while the clouds were in front of the sun, really lights them up.
You caputred some interesting colors where the sun is hiding behind the clouds, almost a rainbow effect. Maybe try to bring that out a little more in photoshop? I like the deep blue tones contrasting the fluffy white clouds.
Beautiful blue tint to the sky. Many different types of clouds in the image. It is a bit blurry. I like the sun peering through the clouds. Nice contrast in color.
In the future possibly try posting a slight higher quality image to the flow vis site. The trees seem a little distracting in this image, possibly consider cropping them out. I like the effect created with the bright sun just barely peaking out behind from the dark sky.
– This photo reminds me of the ocean. The blue really stands out in this image.
– One suggestion I would have would be to crop out the unnecessary trees if possible, and focus more towards the clouds.
