This is an awesome cloud formation. I think that you did a great job capturing it and framing your photo.
This is a super cool cloud formation and you captured it very well, nice job!
Hi Sam
Nice job capturing this type of cloud, I personally haven’t yet experienced this cloud formation yet and would look forward to seeing one.
The image composition of having the top and bottom 1:3rds filled and just the central part showing the shape of the clouds is great.
