The range of color in the photo is very nice. The contrast between the blue sky and the yellow reflection on the clouds really highlight the texture of the clouds.
Great photo, I wouldn’t shy away from cropping out elements at the bottom like the road, or covering white signs like Ella noted.
The lighting direction is very cool and there’s a huge contrast between the yellow and blue which is neat to see.
The color changes from the sunlight are spectacular. The gold to dark clouds all blanketed with such pure blue is really cool. As clouds get darker, the sky gets bluer. I think the current cropping is good, it shows all the clouds and color of the surroundings.
I really like the diagonal created by the clouds and the color contrast between the yellow sunlight in the bottom right and the blue sky in the top left.
