The depth that is in this photo and cloud formation is very cool. You are closer to the level of the clouds which really adds to this depth, very cool. Great color range and contrast. Great focus
The clouds look like they are resting on a glass plate or something. Really great job highlighting the details with the shadows. The focus is entirely on the clouds and I love it.
Posted image quality seems a bit low, consider compressing the image less in the future. The contrast between the clouds and the sky is excellent. Also, the sky is a nice deep blue, and the clouds appear quite puffy, good work.
1. Great image artistically- reminds me of the Simpson’s.
2. The physics are well shown.
2. The photographic technique is really good.
With this image, I was immediately struck by the deep hue of the blue sky and how it manages to turn the eye towards it and make the puffiness of the clouds pop out more. I can say that having the clouds feeling close makes the viewer feel as if the are floating towards the clouds and gives a very gentle feeling of flying. I could not tell if this was taken while inside a plane or in an open area/field. The amount of clouds in this image is really what sells. I have always advocated quality over quantity, but this image seems to have just about the right amount of clouds that don’t detract from the actual quality. I love seeing this image’s landscape broaden as the image goes further back. Great work.
Love how blue the sky is, how white and puffy the clouds are. The shaded bottom of clouds really gives the clouds texture and a feeling like they’re high up in the sky. I dont think you need a mountain border for height estimation, love the feeling of being in the clouds!
The perspective captured helps to illustrate how flat the bottom of the clouds are in the image. I think angling the camera downward a little bit would have convey the depth a little bit more.
Art: I really like the color gradient of the blue sky in the background.
Flow: The flow is quickly understandable and easily recognized.
Photographic technique: The focus of the clouds is really well done and the depth of field is also great.
Very nice clouds, I really like the dramatic contrast between the clouds and the sky. Good detail in the clouds. I also like the colour gradient, fading towards the bottom of the image, it provides a sense of direction even without a horizon.
These look like the clouds rolling in on the simpsons or toy story. It feels like the viewer is on the same level with the clouds due to the cropping of the ground.
Nice cloud photo, I like the contrast between the extremely blue blues and the puffy white cumulus clouds. I like how the clouds sort of repeat their appearance as they get smaller and smaller toward the bottom.
excellent contrast between the clouds and the the sky. I really like the color of the sky and how it fades into different shades of blue. Some nice puffy cumulous clouds dispersed along the sky.
Create capture of these clouds with no distracting elements. Really nice and vibrant color in the blue sky, looks like a scene from UP.
