I took this picture at Boulder downtown on August 29th using iPhone 7 camera.
Aperture: ƒ/2.8
Exposure time: 1/120 sec
ISO: 20
As can be seen in the skewT map at that day, the altitude of the cloud is around 6700m, which means the cloud is cumulus. The CAPE is 93.71, it’s in unstable atmosphere.

Nice colors! I like how the leaves bring perspective and add contrast. Good job!
Very cool photo, really interesting colors. Possibly cropping out the tree could increase focus on the clouds
I love the colors from the sunset. Obvious I-Phone photo but still nice to look at.
Great colors, maybe some cropping would enhance the image.
The colors are great! I love these sunsets!!
Nice red and color. Good Photoshop skill is illustrated in the figure. Need more work for detail information.
Picture is a great display of Colorado sunsets. The colors transition so nicely from orange, red, to a dark purple very nicely.
Really great colors here, good editing too, it looks very natural.
beautiful image. Great sunset photo. Good choice with the photo shop.
I really like the colors of this image. Great sunset image.
Very cool pic, love the vivid red color. A very nice sunset image.
The vivid colors really make this image pop. Nice job cropping and focusing to have the viewer focus right on the brightest areas of the clouds.
The colors of the clouds are great. It looks like the fire. Great image.
I love how well you were able to capture the reds and yelows that are so vibrant during sunsets. You can see a lot of contrast in the cloud which adds to effectiveness.
I like how it looks like the cloud is on fire in this picture. I think that one improvement would be to crop out the tree in the corner.
the colors in your image are very nice and I like how vibrant everything is, the only thing that I would recommend is to crop the tree out.
Great colors! Amazing to see how the Rayleigh light scattering has a magnificent glow.
This is an excellent photo! I love how the image has a sharp contrast between the colorful and dark aspects of the cloud.
Great sunset picture, truly looks like a spreading fire! I would definitely crop the leaves out of the picture so that you only show the clouds since you didn’t capture a foreground.
I really like the color you were able to highlight in this photo! It is cropped well to show just the clouds.
Great Picture. The cloud looks great. I like how did you take it at sunset. the orange color is great.
This is a beautiful picture! Very nice lighting on the clouds, and you can see the details of the clouds very nicely. Just a reminder, you may want to make the image the feature image so it shows up on the main page.
The colors of this image are very nice! The bright pink mixed with purple and dark blue gives a nice contrast within the image. It might benefit from a little cropping to remove the tree within the lower corner.
I love the vibrant colors of this image. The only thing that might improve this incredible picture is cropping out the tree at the bottom right of the image. Great job with this image.
The colors are very cool! Perhaps you could crop a bit so the leafs aren’t in the foreground
