Unique cloud and interesting lighting
These look like nimbus clouds, with light hitting the clouds and blue sky behind. The focus is very soft – to compensate for that, you could decrease the resolution to make it ‘look’ sharp.
Soft and strange. Lovely colors. Part of me wishes it was in focus, but the colors and composition are so stellar that I’m just glad it exists.
So beautiful!! The band of sunlight is mesmerizing. Very nice. job
great shot, It looks like this was a very pretty drive.
The wispiness of the clouds is highly present and the colors are beautiful in this image.
Excellent image, I love the layers of graphical elements created by the road, the different hills, and the sky. The lighting and subtle colors are great and the soft focus gives the image an interesting character.
Very unique photo of clouds that has a great outcome. I love the rain/fog look that no one has gone for yet. Sun shines through perfectly to give it a nice orange color.
Awesome colors, I like how transparent the cloud is, but the brightness is also pretty intriguing as well.
This photo is really interesting – it almost looks photoshopped! but very pretty colors
Kindof an odd image, it looks like it was shot through a window and has some defocus. The color is nice though.
I really like the soft focus that you got here. It would be interesting to see if your sun was on the right or left side of your image.
The way the sunlight seems to spotlight the cloud flow is really interesting. The color contrast and the framing are well done. But the entire image looks pretty unfocused. You might have been trying to focus on the cloud, but I can’t tell.
The light rays from the sun are pretty neat, it illuminates the wispy clouds really well.
Awesome photo. I really like the way the light crosses through the mountains and your choice to frame the empty road in the image.
I like how the light is the focus of this image, really interesting cloud formation.
What do you think causes the mountains appear so hazy?
It’s super mysterious and the clouds are subtle. The orange glow is beautiful as well.
Beautiful colors, I like how the sun ray cuts right across the mountains and how the rain seems to be contained in that ray.
Love the out of focus graininess of this image. Beautiful coloring.
The contrasting colors are really cool. The sun highlighting the clouds is wonderful.
