I like the textures of the clouds. Really cool!
Very interesting cloud composition and color schemes
I really love the soft light in the background and how this emphasizes the clouds. The top of the mountains are a nice touch.
I love how you captured these clouds just floating by themselves. I don’t think the mountain tops add much to the photo however.
Nice image with the two clouds being suspended. I would crop the bottom of the image.
The mountains at a nice touch. Not too overtaking and shows a good scale. The single clouds in the sky does look cool with some colors right behind the mountains.
Very interesting clouds and beautiful image.
I like the simplicity of the image, I personally would keep the mountain in the shot as it gives it a sense of scale
Great framing with the two clouds as the subject of the image, the focus could be improved and there are a few distracting elements that could be cropped out of the bottom. I do like the mountain, though, because I feel that it balances the image and adds a sense of scale.
The dark against the light is cool, and the color gradient of the background is nice with the dark hill at the bottom.
I like the dying clouds. The glow over the mountains is nice. Really peaceful image. Too bad you didn’t have your camera on you.
Beautiful and sort of sad. They feel like fading ghosts. Lovely and soft.
Also I love the mountains because of the color symmetry. the trees could be removed though.
Very cool picture, nice cloud shape and good frame.
The pair of clouds is well framed. I like the contrast between the whispy clouds and the mountain in the background. The image seems a bit out of focus and grainy.
Really interesting geometry. Do you think the turbulence is related to the formation/disintegration of the cloud or do you think these kind of waves are present all throughout the atmosphere?
Very nice image. I like the ambience from the soft colors. Overall great image
I like the colors of the sunset and how similar the shape of the two clouds is.
Nice image, it looks like they have somewhere to be. Kinda ghostly.
Nice image, pretty straight forward but I like it. I like the color gradation as well.
The wispy geometry of this cloud is fun to look at as the clouds remind me of cotton candy.
I like whispy clouds in the foreground coupled with the cloudy background. The color gradient due to the sunset is also really cool.
Nice colors in the image. I like how the cloud color matches the color in the mountain. Did you crop a lot of the mountain out? I’d either bring some of it back, or cut all of it out (but I think the former is a better option).
I like how soft the colors are in this. The clouds are whispy and dark. Overall, good lighting and focus
The clouds look like a flock of birds. I like the simplicity of the two clouds being the only thing in the sky.
Seems a bit grainy or out of focus but cool coloring overall.
Really nice. They look like geese :)
