Very soft colors. Very difficult to achieve this focus when your are so zoomed in or crop so much. Great job getting relatively good focus.
I love the soft tones. This is a really relaxing image. It has a nice nature feel to it with the foliage in the corner.
These clouds are very interesting as they are horizontal. It becomes difficult to see the flow of the clouds because of the low contrast. Perhaps try to increase the contrast more.
Horizon clouds like these are rare considering they tend to dissipate quickly. I applaud your timing and ability to capture a good portion of it when the color was just right. With the color being the way it is, I wonder if Photoshop would have made the image pop out more. It looks fine the way it is now, but I do wish the yellow and pink would contrast each other more rather just casually blending with one another. It is a great image and I would love to see more of them like this.
Art: I really like the color contrast of the clouds in this picture, the colors in this particular piece are really interesting.
Flow: The flow is quickly understandable and easily recognized.
Photographic technique: The focus of the clouds is great as well as the exposure used perfectly captured the colors.
Love the pastel colors and how they take up the sky. The black trees are a nice contrast to the light colors in the sky. Great sharp focus.
Great capture of some morning clouds and their structures. I really like the orange colors casting onto the clouds from the sun.
Very nice image of the large band of clouds. I enjoy how you can see the different thicknesses of the clouds by how dark they are. Good capture.
The clouds are very interesting and its nice to see the contrast between the clouds and the sky.
interesting image. I Think you could have cropped the bottom out. I like the dark blue above the cloud.
Consider removing the trees from the image, completely optional, I am actually quite undecided on them. The yellows in the clouds are nice. Also the contrast between the clouds and sky is excellent.
Cool cloud, nice clear texture. I think, for this specific cloud photo, the trees in the foreground are a little bit distracting. Good coloring!
It is such a large cloud it would have been cool if you could have framed it a little better. It’s a very cool cloud image and the colors you have captured are very cool.
1. Nice artistic sunrise image.
2. The physics are well shown.
3. The photographic technique is very nice.
The focus looks good from the trees in the front. The clouds look kinda fuzzy for some reason but that could be part of the cloud formation. Colors are vibrant and beautiful.
I like the light in this photo. there is some nice contrast within the clouds. It would be nice to see if you could eliminate the lamp posts in the bottom as they are slightly distracting.
The formations documented are interesting and well resolved. If you want to leave some of the foliage on the right then perhaps consider removing the singular tree and power lines in the middle of the image.
