Interesting display of multiple clouds in a single picture
The top right looks like it’s a sun glare, but it’s a high-elevation cloud AND glare! I like how you have those two different cloud textures up there.
An endless vault, and so beautiful. The depth is wild. Thank you for showing this.
The two different cloud behaviors in this image have a powerful impact on this image. The high elevation cloud at the top right seems to enclose the sun, making it feel like one is gazing into the heavens. I like that the lens glare seems to penetrate towards the evaporating cumulus clouds.
Good capture of the sun shinning through in the corner. Interesting that spot of dark, dark blue to the left. Nice focus of the cloud.
I really like the choice to do a portrait image instead of landscape. The texture is lovely, and the clouds are framed nicely. The sun shining through the cloud and giving that lens artifact in the corner is an excellent addition. Great work.
I really like the high wispy cloud in the top right with the glow of the sun. The geometry in the lower cloud has a lot of movement. The blue is maybe a bit dark, especially on the left hand side.
I like the difference between the well defined clouds on the left and the very soft clouds by the sun. Also, great contrast inside the clouds and the way it brings out the details.
Love the portrait orientation. The lens effect is a nice touch as well. Great showcase of the cloud.
I like the contrast between the top right and more left clouds. The different ways the sun diffuses through the clouds looks really nice.
The texture of the clouds is really wonderful and the dark blue of the sky is really pretty. The contrasting colors turned out really nicely. And the sun beam is a nice touch.
Awesome picture. It appears as though the clouds are rotating around the sun.
Nice picture. I really like the rays of the sun breaking through the clouds and the blue/white color mapping in the image.
Really like the circular cloud around the sun
I like the cropping of this image and I really like the single ray of light coming from the sun in the corner. Great detail and contrast as well.
Nice picture that shows the cloud mechanics.
I really like the cloud on the top right. Has a cosmic feel to it, almost supernova like. The light shining through that cloud is super cool also. Is there any way to make that cloud the focus of this image through cropping?
