Very cool color range in this photo. Very cool composition and great, sharp focus
I love the soft pink on the blue sky. The shadows really give the image depth. The contrast between the dark side of the cloud and the illuminated side is really visually appealing.
I love this image! I really like all of the colors in the sky, from the yellows and oranges in the clouds in the distance to the darker grays and bright oranges in the cloud fronts and center. It creates a vibrant range of contrast in colors. The clouds in the background look a little funny, like they are the negative of what’s actually going on or something. Very interesting!
1. Lovely photo with great colors and texture.
2. The physics are well shown.
3. The photographic technique is really good.
Love these colors! Love the shadows and highlights on the clouds. Love how puffy it is and how that texture is in really good focus.
The top clouds seem a little blown out but the rest of the image is great, I would recommend cropping out the top cloud without losing that cumulus cloud. Great focus on the close clouds.
Cool picture! it looks kind of like a puff of smoke coming from a place off screen to the left. Very intense colors shown here too. The wispy clouds look a little saturated however.
The color and shape of your clouds are beautiful. I like the mountain in the original as well. The clouds in the background seem a little over processed.
– Great photo, I really like how it looks kind of like a famous painting. The colors aren’t super distracting and I think the mountains add a nice show of perspective of how big the fluffy cloud is.
The image does a good job of capturing the textures and colors of the cloud formation shown. The post processing may have been taken a little bit too far, but this is only my opinion. The image also does a good job of of showcasing the 3D elements in the depth of the primary cloud formation.
there is really interesting depth in this photo. I like the puffy light pink feel of the photo. This reminds me of cotton candy being spun around. I also like the mountain included in the photo. The mountain gives a different perspective to how big the cloud is.
Definitely pushed the photoshop a bit, but it gave an awesome effect. Leaving the mountain range is nice for a sense of location and scale.
Cool image. The editing is interesting. I like the light and the mountain. Remove the tops of the trees would help.
Nice photo! Good coloring, I think you might have lost a little bit of detail and the clouds on the right. Nice 3 dimensional depth of the cloud with the shadow and highlight on the cloud.
Great focus and detail in the cloud formation. I like the lighting from the sun. Good post processing. Great job.
I really like the colour. There appears to be a lot of banding, but it seems to make the photo more like a painting.
Great capture of this segregated cloud structure. The colors are nice and vibrant and there is good contrast range throughout. I like how one side of the cloud is dark and there other is being lit up by the sun.
I really enjoy the shadows you have in the clouds. I also really enjoy the lighter sky on the right side of the sky and the darker sky on the left where the shadows occur. Well done.
Art: I really like the color contrast of the bright highlights of color that is contained on the clouds and the bright background.
Flow: The flow is quickly understandable and easily recognized.
Photographic technique: The focus of the clouds is great, with the successful capturing of the softer edges of the clouds.
