Interesting combination of clouds, the dark nature of the picture is calming
You have a nice variety of clouds here, with excellent variance in lighting. I think that the sky could use some brightening though.
The bright light of the cloud is beautifully contrasted by the dark clouds. This is something I would see at a professional art show. Beautiful.
Good work on the color and composition. A peculiar flow.
This image is almost like a study of the behaviors of lenticular and rotor clouds. While the lenticular clouds seem to be moving around, rotating like flying saucers, the rotor clouds seem to tumbling stationary instead.
Great image, I like the variety of different clouds with different shapes. It’s a little dark and washed out, so you might want to consider adjusting the contrast or brightness.
Great photo and good explanation on the clouds. I like how there are a lot of different types of clouds and the mood the photo brings
Interesting color of clouds. Nice focus. Love the beautiful mountain waves
This is a nice capture of the mountain wave phenomena. It is a bit dark, so maybe try playing around with the lighting in post processing.
The variety of clouds here is great, the image may be a little dark. I like the cool tones, and the focus is great.
Great image. I like the dark colors present in the photo along with a variety of cloud patterns.
Crazy texture on the bottom dark cloud. I think the stripped looking cloud in the middle right is awesome and has a little twister feel to it. Overall good focus and colors.
I like the variety of clouds that you get in this image. The contrast is also really nice.
I like all the different kinds of clouds present. The different textures and colors actually work really well together, nice image!
great image with a nice variety of clouds.
I like the variety of clouds and the really different colors of each cloud. The different darknesses of the clouds is really cool to see the contrast.
All the different clouds makes an interesting effect. I like the different textures, as well has how the leftmost cloud is illuminated.
This image has an ominous feel to it and still maintains great contrast for how dark the scene is. Great explanation of all the clouds that are shown!
I like the composition and the clouds a lot. I think you could have altered the contrast a bit to make the image pop more.
Really like the contrast between the clouds
I like the range of dark colors you have in the photo and I like the variety of clouds in the photo. Great image!
