The contrasting colors are really nice and I love the cloud formation.
I like the dark shadows present in the image, really cool clouds!
Looks like something I’d hang on my wall
This is an excellent panorama of the Engineering Center with a beautiful cloudscape. Panorama mode on smartphones is incredible these days, but if you’re looking for a way to stitch the pictures together with ease, try Microsoft ICE, found here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/product/computational-photography-applications/image-composite-editor/
Good cropping to make the focus on the sky.
I like the back lighting of the sunlight on this cloud. It enhances its bumpy quality.
I like that you chose to include the Engineering Center in this image. I could see this being used as a banner image for the school.
The clouds in this image are vibrant due to how saturated the sky.
Beautiful lighting. Panoramic view is a lovely.
Nice job. I like the composition
Nice range of contrast. The EC border works well.
Great image, the lighting on the clouds and the color of the sky is nice. I like the geometric shapes of the foreground contrasting with the organic shapes of the clouds, though you might want to consider darkening the foreground.
Great photo. The balance of colors are well composed.
Really cool photo of the engineering center in the foreground, the contrast in the clouds is great. The choice to go for panoramic was a nice touch.
Nice panorama. The texture of the building drew my attention, so a different cropping or messing with lighting in post processing may focus the image more on the cloud, which is very cool.
I like how you made a panorama to capture all the clouds. Good color and contrast in your photo. The buildings in the foreground are a little overpowering but I’m not sure cropping would help or just make the photo seemed more squished…
Nice work balancing the complex lighting associated with this scene. I wonder how the photograph would look if you tried to bring back some of the details close to where the sun is blown out.
I like how the sharp angles of the engineering center in the foreground contrast with the shape of the clouds.
Really cool clouds. The back lighting is awesome, and the fish eye lens is a good effect.
