I would have liked to see a bit more of the landscape, put these clouds in context!
Really like the position this shot was taken in. It feels like its like a snapshot of a timelapse of the clouds passing over you.
You have a beautiful image with a nice strong diagonal. I think you have lots of detail in your clouds, and It’s hard to determine if you should increase the contrast without seeing that version of the image.
I like how close these clouds feel in this photo. To answer your question, I think the contrast is well set. You are able to see lots of detail in the clouds.
I think it’s really cool how you took this image from an elevated perspective becuase it really cuts out all of the distractions that come sometimes with images taken on the ground. Because of this the focal point of the image really is the clouds and their texture.
The lighting in your image is really cool. You were able to capture detail (and landscape) in the clouds really well!
I really like the lighting of the image! It’s cool to see the detail of the mountains along with the contrast from the clouds
I like how thick the cloud cover is. The small gaps between the clouds make the image pretty and add some nice contrast.
