Great image with the sun producing so much light behind the clouds! I like how limited distracting elements in this image.
I love the way you took this image directed at the sun. It creates cool colors and irradiance and contrast between the clouds.
I think you have great contrast between the low clouds in the foreground and the higher clouds and sun in the back. I also really like the texture of the clouds, especially in the lower right corner.
I love the blue colors you were able to capture! This is a really cool picture
It looks very nighttime, even though it’s more evening, and I think it’s a really cool look for the image.
