The clouds are nice, but the foreground could be cropped a bit better
I really like how big and fluffy the clouds are. You were able to capture the texture really well in this image. The foreground doesn’t distract from the clouds, nice image!
The color in the clouds are fantastic! You captured quite the cloudscape. The bottom landscape could use cropping if you want focus on the clouds, although the field looks simple and great.
Great cloud formation. The clouds almost look unstable which is interesting.
The clouds have a lot of depth and the colors are very vibrant, the post processing is well done.
The clouds are beautiful and the colors are very nice. I think cropping out the grass would really help focus the image on the sky.
The image is balanced according to the rule of thirds, but the foreground is very busy and distracts from the clouds. You may want to consider cropping a lot of it out.
Great clouds in the sky but too much of the field. Good detail of the sky without messing it up.
Do you think the cumulus clouds are forming or disintegrating?
Great focus and composition of the photo. Some cropping might help draw attention to the clouds more.
There is a remarkable amount of dynamic range in this photo, with a deep range of blue hues from the lightest blue to some dark blues. The shapes of the clouds are highly prominent and seem almost 3D.
Cool cloud formation and coloring. There is a ‘bloom’ in the lower right 3rd of the image, and the foreground is a little distracting.
I like the cloud formation and the contrast within the clouds. Maybe consider taking out some of the foreground to give more focus on the clouds.
I like the colors in this image, looks very good. I think with some cropping you could focus more on the clouds
Really cool cloud formations, you can see the turmoil in the atmosphere, very ethereal looking.
Theres a lot going on in the foreground, but the cloud image is great.
Beautiful image. The clouds are striking. I think you should crop the grass out and see how it looks – the clouds are so stunning, they should definitely be the focus the image.
Great clouds, they look very prominent. I might change the crop of the picture, we don’t need all the grass and cars in the picture. Good color and image quality though.
The cars in the foreground is distracting, but the clouds are very obvious which is good.
This is very cool. It looks like it could be an add for CU, since it is taken with the flat irons in the background.
A little less of the ground and more of the clouds and flatirons would make for a nicer image. However, the contrast and focus are perfect.
