I love the colors. It has a unique pink highlight. Did you increase the saturation ratio?
There’s some pretty colors in this and lots to look at. If you had a higher resolution photo, that’d be awesome!
I like the unedited clouds. It is very real and comforting. It seems like a tranquil evening and brings your focus on the mellow clouds.
The great diversity of the shape makes the whole image vivdly. While the sun enhance the interest of the image.
Great colors and I love how many different clouds are visible!
very airy and soft. the color adds to that feel.
The colors are really nice, and I think the slight framing done by the trees works really well too. Also having several different cloud shapes in the sky at once makes it very interesting.
I like how you did not have to do any post processing. The colors look really nice to the point where post processing could make the picture worse instead of better.
I like the natural color in the image. The sunset that projected on the clouds looks great.
I like how you can see some color on some of the clouds but not others, it makes the layers more apparent. I think the positioning could be changed slightly to avoid the trees in bottom of the picture.
Great job with this image, I really like the flatter colors of this image. I like how it looks like there are a lot of different cloud shapes.
I like the aspect ratio of the picture. Gives a very peaceful and warm feel to the picture. I also like the decision to not post process because it already has a very natural effect, nice capture.
Like the wide color scheme of the photo. Captures the sunset very well. Trees add to the overall photo.
The orange and blue add a pretty cool effect, with more orange in the distance. I don’t think the trees add to it , but if they were cut out I think some information would be lost with the farther clouds.
I like the warm feeling of this image. Great colors
I like the illumination on the left side of the clouds. It adds a variety of contrasting colors that add to the effectiveness of the image
Quick reminder to set the featured image. I like this image – you have really cool colors and contrast. The trees are a smidge distracting, but not a huge deal.
I really like the colors that you captured. I think it would be cool to see what the image looks like if you cropped the trees out of the bottom.
I like the bright colors! The trees are a bit distracting but it would be hard to cut them out without loosing some info about the clouds
Amazing to see how the range of clouds. Love the contrasting oranges with the light blue. Great picture. Looking at it I don’t think the bottom framing adds very much. You might consider a crop.
I like that you were able to capture such a large amount of the sky on one image. The focus of this image does seem to be on the trees within the foreground but overall the image shows nice depth and great contrast. Nice!
