I posted this previously on ESS, but it seemed a natural for this challenge. This was a total grab shot and I had to lie down on the ground to get the perspective I wanted (chin in a cow flop... fun

)

Nikon D200, 18-200 mm @ 22mm
ISO 200, 1/60 sec @ f/8

The crap we have to wade through to get a great image. Like the trees silohuetted by the sun, I'm guessing this is a sunset am I right? Well done Reed

This is great, Reed, the trees are just perfect and i love how the underbelly of the clouds is just glowing!

Nice. The overwhelming emphasis on the sky makes this very powerful.

Great shot. The backlit trees with the intense orange/yellow sun make the image (much, much more than the clouds actually).
