The contrast is great. Did you lower the saturation ratio? It appears to have a lot of grays. It looks great!
The contrast in this is spectacular! I think it really shows the density of the clouds and is fascinating to look at. Not to mention I love that blue in there
I love the colors and straight up look in this photo. I like how you were able to capture the light coming around from behind the clouds.
Pretty nice picture! I love the high contrast between clouds and light. And the depth of view is perfectly reserved while all the shapes of clouds are illustrated in a sharp way
I really like what you did with the editing. The contrast of the very bright whites showing through the clouds (without over-saturating) and very dark blues of the sky is fantastic.
The dark and light of the clouds with the sun behind is a great effect. I really like the shadows.
The very dark sky and cloud shadow make it very dramatic, especially with the very bright edges.
the colors are awesome! I like how you caught the sun right behind the clouds
I really like how you can see the light coming through the cloud. I like that you decided to make the image a square. It fits the clouds perfectly.
The color contrast looks great. I like the structure of the clouds.
Nice contrast in the image! I like the darkness of the cloud with the light shining around it in the dark blue sky. Nice work!
Like the coloring of the clouds and the darkness brought out of the clouds due to the sunlight.
I love this image! The contrast between the clouds is super clear, and I like that you can see the wispy clouds that you can see behind the thicker clouds. It looks very dramatic!
The one dark central cloud is a very nice focal point and the pure white is very nicely contrasts with it.
Almost looks like a black and white photo with just a hint of dark blue. This adds a dreariness to the underside of the cloud, while the upper layers of the cloud are extremely bright.
Cool picture, it almost feels like a black and white image with the contrast. Very cool.
Love the intensity of this image, it gives off a creepy vibe. This shows off the clouds very well, great job!
This is a very nice image that shows some great contrast between the bright blue sky and the white clouds with a nice dark center in the middle. Nice cropping.
Joe this picture is amazing! The back-lit clouds gives great contrast throughout the day.
