Love the color composition and the nature of the clouds
I like how this image transitions from dark and ominous to light and happy (right bottom corner to upper left corner). Nice work!
Great image, I love the subtle red and orange colors of the sunset, and the details of the clouds are very visible. Image has great texture.
Beautiful image, I love the purple-ish color mixed with cloud and the cloud flow is very interesting and detailed. Nice post-processing skills.
I love the colors here. The texture of the clouds is violent – makes me nervous just looking at it. Really strong image – nice work.
Interesting colors shining through. Has a cool stormy feel. Good details on the clouds.
The colors are really nice here and balance out between the warm and cool colors.
I like the pastel looking colors of the image, and the overall composition is really nice.
Great job balancing the colors in your photo. The lavender hues in the bottom right are very interesting.
The added detail and colors make the photo very pleasing to look at.
Wonderful colors and great range of lightness and darkness.
Really nice colors and contrast in this image. The blue and light purple colors mix really well. I love how the cloud takes up most of the picture and I think the texture of the cloud indicates some turbulence in the air. Overall, really well done.
Really cool colors. Good cloud formation, and good cropping.
Nice colors in this picture
It’s really cool to see the purplish colors almost radiating through the clouds. Focus and exposure are also great.
I really like the subtle colors that are seeping through the ominous clouds. Overall, great image and editing techniques.
I really like this image. The colors are wonderful and the clouds that are captured are beautiful and they look somewhat stormy. Really nice image!
Nice job! I like the pockets of smaller clouds.
Great clouds and great colors. Nothing I would change about the image.
I love the colors in the image. I like how your image has only clouds and no foreground. Maybe add a bit more contrast to really bring out details, but overall great image.
Great color work. Interesting to see the boundary between the impending weather system and the clear skies in the left side of the image.
