I took this photo while I was out on a hike that started at the NCAR Trailhead on 30 September. The entire photo includes the mountains, however I felt that it detracted from the flow visualization of the clouds. I cropped it down to include the most interesting portion of the clouds to focus on the flow.

Hey there Hannah!
I love this image! I almost wish you decided to leave the mountains in to provide perspective on how big this cloud formation really was. Other than that I love the cloud selection. It almost looks like an avalanche after heavy snow fall. Good job!
Very well done! It looks more like an oil painting than an actual photo! I love that it’s almost gray scale while still have a slight tint of color.
I really like the color scheme you selected. I also enjoy that the clouds were cropped without a foreground because it allows for interpretation by the viewer and I think that’s really unique.
I really like the way you edited the image. I think the contrast between the dark sky and the bright clouds creates a really interesting visual .
I think the framing of this image is unique and creates a interesting texture that jumps off the screen.
I like that you chose to focus one section of the original image and darkened the sky. It creates a nice contrast that makes the edges of the cirrus/altostratus clouds really clear!
