This is a mountain wave Cloud captured on Monarch Mountain just before noon. Given their shape and a cape of 0.00 the atmosphere was stable further justifying this cloud type. The only edits Made to this image was to darken the sky to provide a little more contrast.

The colors are nice and calming
Neat, I don’t know if I’ve been to Monarch – wait, yes I have. I guess what I’m trying to say is there’s more focus on the mountain than on the clouds. Perhaps some cropping would do you some good if you want to focus on the clouds? Either way, nice picture.
The snow gives a cold effect to the image which suits the clouds. I like the how you captured the clouds in the distance.
Awesome picture and great cloud capture. I was skiing Crested Butte this day coincidentally .
Good shot. Enjoy half clouds half blue sky. Real cool divide.
Very cool photo I like the foreground and good explanation of the type of cloud
Awesome photo, the flat bottom clouds are pretty interesting. Nice job on framing with the trees.
Your choice of aperture and shutter speed in this picture is a great balance as the picture has a nice depth of field and the lighting is spot on. The mountain snow contrasted with the fluffy clouds is beautiful.
I like the framing in this image. The clouds look cool, and I like how the mountains frame everything.
Great focus and contrast. I would crop the photo a bit more so there isn’t so much foreground
Nice contrast and love the half mountain and half clouds picture that makes the picture beautiful.
Great image, it is very nicely framed, though you might want to see if you can remove the sign in the lower right.
Framing of image is really cool. Maybe increase the contrast between the clouds and sky and leave mountain whites as they are?
Nice photo with good focus and contrast. The foreground is a little overpowering, maybe crop the bottom a bit to give more emphasis on the clouds? Also the sign on the right is fairly prominent, maybe just clone stamp that out.
Nice view of the cloud base. The white snow is very bright, and takes up a large portion of the image. Nice focus!
Great picture. I wonder how it would look in black and white.
I really like the juxtaposition of the white clouds and the snow. Nice composition.
The clouds are really nicely framed and I like the mountains and trees in the foreground.
Really cool looking and love the overall image and the mountains
