This was a pretty well defined front. Not much in the way of fg, but I think the sky makes up for that. Thanks for looking

As you say Nancy, the sky makes the shot. The clouds look amazing.

This is composed very well. lots of sky and very little earth. The sky is definitely the subject of the image. Great depth and the cloud provides a nice leading line. Fine image.

Being an urban dweller we never see big skies like this. It must have been quite a spectacle to see. It is portrayed well.

Foreground is the needed foundation for the clouds, and works perfectly well, I think. Everything thing seems blurry though. Hand-held?

Fantastic sky! Love the sweeping clouds coming in from the urc. With this much sky, there's not much need for fg landscape.

I really like the sweeping lines of the clouds in your comp. You also brought out a lot of drama in the cloud. Wicked shot.

Wow, what a sky! The cloud is just awesome. It does look soft overall but still a wonderful looking scene.

Nancy Lea,

Powerfully awesome sky and no doubt memorable. Not that it matters, but looks like the trailing edge of the front.

Excellent job composing and including the bit of landscape. The trees and hill on the left are nicely position for the anchor to the scene as the clouds veer off to the right.

Wow!

Lon

Part of photography is having a camera.
This is a fortuitous capture.
The cloud line is exquisite.
I like the linear texture in the upper right portion of the cloud.
Nice work.
