Big Sky

I went to Cedar Canyon to shoot an image that I had visualize, but the weather did not cooperate and it was obvious that I wasn't going to get what I wanted and I almost went home. I decided to stick around and this is what I got. It is a pano of two images. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

Canon 30D
Sigma 17-70
Manual focus and exposure
Shutter 1/125
Aperture f9.5
ISO 100
17mm
Levels

The use of a large sky is very effective here. Great clouds!

Awesome sky! I have yet to be able to point a camera at clouds like these. Someday, hopefully it will happen.

I love the sky in this one, Richard. I love the way the clouds sort of fan out.

Amazing sky, Richard, and good treatment of it with your pano. If there was one tiny change I might think about, it would be brightening the ground just a tiny bit, but hey, this is all about the sky, so that's no big deal.
