Interesting clouds, I enjoy the foreground and the light from the sun
I really like this image. You did a great job capturing the foreground and highlighting the clouds in the background.
I love the yellow light at the bottom of the clouds. The variety of textures is very cool.
I love the shot of the water in the front with a hill coming right out. Good colors on the clouds. Nice shot.
Great image, I love the light shining through the clouds and the colors that it creates. I would consider increasing the contrast slightly so the black on the mountains is true black, but that won’t impact the image that much.
The composition of this image is well done! The light shining through the clouds in the center is a great artistic choice. The edges of the cloud are seen pretty clearly.
Nice job! Everything is time-and-space resolved. I like the contrast in the cloud on the left.
Beautiful image, I love the light come out from the ground.
The light rays in this image are really strong, it’s a very enticing affect. Beautiful, soft colors.
Great lighting. I wonder what causes the more transparent clouds that seem to exist between the large, opaque clouds.
Great colors in the clouds I like the defined clouds with the wispy clouds in between. I feel as though the horizon line is exactly centered, maybe crop a bit off the bottom to add more focus to the sky.
This is beautiful. The water doesn’t take too much away from the image because the bright colors of the clouds stand out.
I like this image! I especially like how the light bounces off the clouds and into the water. The contrast of the sun’s warmth with the icy mountains and water is really nice.
Beautiful image, love the light and mountain combination, and the glow with cloud. Great work.
Cool contrast between the water, mountains, and the clouds illuminated by the sunset. Good cropping, and the focus is good for both the water and the clouds.
I think the foreground is nicely balanced with the sky and clouds. The colors here are pretty unique too.
Love the layout of this image. The light in the center of the image is awesome.
The lighting in this scene is dramatic and really highlights the forms and the textures of the clouds. I really like the contrast between the cool colors of the mountains and the warm colors of the altocumulus clouds.
Beautiful image, the colors are fantastic. My only suggestion is to make the darks a bit lighter, but the clouds look great.
I really like the use of the rule of thirds here. The colors are really pretty and the clouds are gorgeous. I also love the texture of the water.
Amazing image. Love the colors and composition
