Stumped

I made this photograph the morning of Jan 29th, which was Kansas Day (our 150th year of statehood). I had photographed the sunrise at another location but even after the color from sunrise was gone the clouds were very interesting so I stayed out and explored some other locations. Thought this might make a good place to sit for awhile on a warmer day.

Hey Scott, Nice perspective. The stump makes a nice anchor for the shot and those are the types of clouds that I love about the midwest. Didn't have many of those in L.A.....

Thanks for sharing - and going out in the cold for the shot.

Like it. Great comp.

I'd maybe try to brighten the stump to bring out the texture.

I'm still envious of the clouds you guys got in eastern Kansas that morning :). Great image, one of your best from that morning.

Hey Scott, the clouds really draw me into this shot.
