A Cirrus Uncinus was able to form because of the warm front and this type of cloud is seen in high altitudes in the troposphere. The CAPE is 0.00 = Stable / Condensed LCLP 478.0 and again at higher points / Parcel is cooler / The ceilometer says the clouds where anywhere from 5 – 6 kilometers up high. Cirrus clouds can form at any altitude between 16,500 ft to 45,000 (5.0 km; 3.13 mi)

I really like how much the cloud came out from the editing.
The post-processing adds a good amount of dramatic effect.
I like how the post-processing brought out a lot of the details, and it kind of makes the Cirrus cloud look like an Alto cloud (based on transparency). I like how the processed image seemingly shows some iridescence.
Great cloud capture I like how the vertical orientation makes the cloud look like smoke
Very cool picture, reminds me of artwork. Interesting looking cloud
The post processing in this image is very cool, the cloud looks very ominous.
I love the editing you did, it makes it feel supernatural.
The capture of the curl on the edge of the cloud is very satisfying. What post processing did you do to the image?
