This is a really cool perspective. My only feedback would be that my eye naturally looked at the interesting mountain in the foreground, not the clouds.
I’m a big fan of mountain skylines and cloud images. Great job keeping the focus on both the clouds and the mountains. The colors are nice.
The mountains are very cool in this image. I like the detail in the clouds and think the reduction in saturation serves this image well.
Fantastic image of orographic cumulus clouds in Rocky Mountain National Park! I love that you kept a great range of the park in the bottom of your image, but there is no question that the clouds are the focus of your image. And the sharpen tool (or filter) really makes the mountains pop. Great work!
The sharp topography in the image is what truly makes the image appealing, in my opinion. The angle you captured the image at allowed for a great depth of field and interesting perspective of the clouds being shown.
Art: I really like the textural contrast between the rough foreground and the smoother background.
Flow: The flow is quickly understandable and easily recognized.
Photographic technique: The depth of field is well done. The lower clouds are a little overexposed but I really enjoy that part personally.
great picture! Very pleasing to the eye and well resolved. The mountain landscape looks great against the backdrop of the clouds.
Very pretty clouds! They’re very simple. The mountains really make this photo. The greens and grays from the mountain are a nice contrast to the white and blue in the sky. Great quality and focus.
1. Lovely image of clouds in Estes.
2. Physics are well shown.
3. The photographic technique is well done.
The edges of the mountain scape give some great contrast. And the green adds nice color. Pleasing photo
Great contrast of blue sky and white cloud. Good focus. Enjoyable image!
Very beautiful landscape used to capture this cloud image. Nice touches made in post, I like that you adjusted the sharpening in this image.
The definition and contour of the clouds can be seen clearly. I really like the bright clouds against the dark mountains and sky.
I really like both the foreground and background. The clouds are nicely resolved, and the sky is dark and dramatic. The horizon is dramatic and adds a focal point, which brings the viewer to look at the big central cloud. nice work
This image would be awesome without any clouds, the addition of the clouds really completes this image. Great resolution and the contrast of the white clouds on the line of the trees/mountains is fascinating.
These clouds always remind me of fall in Colorado! The photo is really well resolved. It would be nice to change the blue color curve of the photo to get a more bright blue looking sky!
Really awesome environment and really cool image of the clouds. Great work.
Great clarity on this picture. The focus is great. The clouds are clearly defined. The only suggestion I have is make the mountains a bit less distracting.
Awesome photo. Great focus and detail. The mountains really help put into perspective how big the clouds are. I like the color of the sky in the background.
Wow! Beautiful image. I like the juxtaposition between the rocks and trees in front of the clouds. Nice!
This is a really nice image. I like how the landscape really adds to the photo. It is nice to see see the mountain protruding from behind the foreground. Nice work with the photo.
WOW the mountains !! great focus and contrast
I am a big fan of what you did with the colors here. The muted blues and brighter greens really contrast well with the grey cliffs. It’s such a nice departure from people overdoing the blue skies, I really like it.
Image looks a little surreal, very visually appealing. Focus is all around crisp. Contrast of clouds and sky is excellent.
– WOW! This photo is well-resolved.
– It is really cool seeing the mountain in the background with perspective to how large the clouds are.
