This cloud image was captured on October 8, 2019 @ approximately 2pm in Boulder, CO. The cloud shows an example of a cumulus fractus cloud due to its cotton like appearance. From the Skew-T diagram, we can see that the atmosphere was stable.

Based on Nick Scott’s image a few minutes later, I’d call these mountain wave clouds: orographic altocumulus.
I like the darkness of the background in post processing.
I like how the red highlights remind me of iridescence. I like the texture you brought out with post-processing.
I like how you edited the photo.
Love the editing. Gives a 3D animated effect.
Definitely a cool artistic image with the editing. I like your editing choices
I enjoy the glow from the edited image around each cloud parcel. What is the scale of the clouds?
I like the heavy editing it reminds me of an album cover or something like that.
The editing reminds of me of cartoon/anime clouds (which is good thing because I like anime clouds!)
