Really nice job capturing the towering cumulus clouds. Great colors and framing.
I think this was a really cool picture and I like how the cloud almost looks like a nuclear explosion.
Nice image! You did a great job of capturing the full size of this storm front.
Very nice photo, I like how the cactus gives a size reference.
Very nice clouds shape is like a fluffy puppy in the sky. The horizon enhance the magnificence of the image.
This cloud appears to have a lot of mass to it I really like how it fades from dark orange at the bottom to the white top. I think the power plant on the horizon helps to give it some scale too.
Wow that is intense! I’m going to be looking for these in the future, I never realized how big these clouds get. I’m glad you kept the ground in the photo, it gives a scale to everything and really magnifies the impact of the thunder cloud
The scale of this is incredible. I really appreciate including the factory or whatever that thing is on the ground, because we’ve all probably seen that thing, and seeing a cloud tower so high above it is impressive. Good horizon line too.
I like the depth of view in the image. The cloud behind looks awesome!!!
It is quite interesting to see how tall and large this could is. You van see how it rises and has an enormous quantity of water that must be held inside.
I like the plume-like nature of the cumulus cloud! It shows a consistently changing hue spectrum which is cool.
Wow! We really get a feeling of scale with this image because you include the background – I think this is super important for this image because the cloud is so big! Nice colors, too.
Very nice cloud shape, you can see the clouds rising nicely. There is a good mix of colors from the light orange to the darker blue.
This image really gives a sense of how massive cloud structures can be. The “pillars” in the lower right corner help solidify this perception.
I love the contrast between the clouds in the foreground and clouds in the background
This is a very “huge” image. I love the small silhouetted cactus in the bottom corner that really puts the massive size of this cloud into perspective.
Realizing now that’s no cactus, that’s some smoke stacks, close enough though.
Wow this picture is incredible! The cumulonimbus is such an interesting cloud and I wish I got to see it more often. Great job!
