Fascinating shape in the cloud. Almost looks like it is angry.

John - While this is a very cool foramtion, unless you included the description, I would not have known if this were water clouds or somethings else. I find the abstracts that contain some piece of recognizeable subject -mnts, trees, rock (even if these are in a more abstract form) help give a little context to the image. Just my opinion, very subjective as the tech aspects of the image look great.

A great job at bringing out all those details John. That is some sweet cloud action and you have framed it perfectly. I like the blue at the top and bottom it holds everything together nicely. Cheers

Clouds are so hard, I think, but you really did these well.
