Very good job capturing a phenomenon that is very far away. I found this very difficult when attempting to do this myself. The cloud phenomenon is very cool to see so comprehensively like this.
I love the alpenglow affect seen here. Great job keeping the details in the clouds and keeping the colors vibrant. I love cloud pictures taken in the mountains.
I like how you took this picture on top of a mountain. Great visual flow of the clouds as well. The color of the mountain gives great contrast with the sky.
I really like the perspective given by this image with the summit in the foreground and the clouds farther back. This image kind’ve reminds me of pride rock in Lion King. One possible change would be to crop the image down a little bit to make the cloud take up more of the image.
Nice photo! You can easily see which direction the clouds are heading. The color in the mountains toward the bottom is a little distracting you might want to consider blacking them out or cropping the image a little bit.
I like the image as a whole. The mountains give the viewer an idea of the height of the clouds although some of the image could be cropped. Nice cloud picture!
Love the fluffiness of these clouds!! The sunlight hitting the tops and the shadows on bottom are beautiful and really give cloud depth. Personally I love how the mountain tip is coming up and challenging the horizontal clouds. Great focus!
Art: I like the color contrast between the mountains and the brighter tops of the clouds. The textural contrast between sky and mountains is very interesting.
Flow: The flow is quickly understandable and easily recognized.
Photographic technique: The depth of field used in this piece is great, it successfully captured both the mountains in the foreground and the mountains in the background.
Nice composition, there are a lot of lines for the eye to follow; centering the peak of the mountain at the center of the frame was a good idea. The warm tones on the right slope are very appealing and the shadows contain lots of interesting details.
I really like the blue purple contrast in the clouds. the contrast between the mountain sunshine and the shadows on the mountains in the background are interesting. The shadows really add to the photo. nice work.
Nice photo, I like the angle of the sunlight on the clouds and the mountains in the foreground. Interesting textures, I like how the peak is centered, and the contrast of light on the right to dark on the left; nice photo!
The deep purples compliment the shadows of the mountain faces very well in this image. I am curious what the image would look like if you cropped some of the top and bottom to remove some of the less informative information in the image.
The perspective and fisheye effect on your photo makes it look like the clouds are at eye level with the viewer, which is pretty neat. What I really like about this photo is the composition, the clouds are pretty normal, but the image is striking in a different way. I like your choice to center that ridgeline, it gives a great focal point to the image, and the light and dark sides of the hill make a great contrast.
Great location to capture these clouds. Cool to see this cloud system moving through the mountain range, good contrast range.
