Here is my First Clouds Assignment, shown above is a cumulus cloud over north Denver. The atmosphere is stable and the wind is low.

Looks like a classic fair-weather cumulus sitting in a pretty stable setup. You can really tell the winds are light from how clean and well-defined the cloud edges are.
This is a really beautiful picture. I love the framing and the scale.
I like how the photos shows a defined starting point of the cloud line which the graph confirms, showing the cloud is likely starting at 600-mb.
Excellent shot, you captured the scale of these clouds very well.
Statement of meaning: This image does a great job of showing scale by having the power lines in the foreground, really showing how massive these clouds are.
