You managed to capture a pretty rare cloud, cool to see!
I love the cloud you chose, it’s so smooth and ominous on a cheerful day. I wish I were there to see it in person.
Fantastic shot. I like the context the trees and sunlit mountains give the shot, but it’d also be cool to see how abstract it would be with the context cropped out.
This is such an awesome picture, Tristan! I love how it looks a lot like a wave on the shore might. Super cool contrast!
I like the diagonal that the cloud goes across. I also like the little tiny cloud on the left, it adds size perspective.
It looks like the sky is splitting across the diagonal in the image. The contrast of colors is very visually appealing. I also like the little cloud for scale
Love a strong diagonal, and the massive cloud layer is a nice almost overwhelming presence that makes for a really cool picture, i also really like the range of colors present with the lighter cloud on the left, and the rocks, and the gradient blue in the sky.
Love this picture. I usually don’t like the weather when we get clouds like this, haha.
I like the menacing look that this overcoming dark cloud makes. The little lighter puff cloud in the original is a friendly baby.
I really like the way the edge of the cloud spans the diagonal of the image. It’s very spatially resolved
I really enjoy this picture for how sudden the cloud boundary is. The dark grey contrasts really well with the sky blue, as well as the brighter grey towards the left.
I love how dark the clouds are, with a hint of the color of the sun. I think it’s a great contrast of shades.
I love how clear you managed to get the boundary
