Big Sky Nebraska

I was on the way home from shooting some sunrise images, when the design in the clouds really caught my eye. This is a three image pano. On the prairie things are so big and wide that it takes a pano to capture the scene. Thanks for your comments and critiques.

This really gives the feeling of wide open space and the sky is wonderful. I grew up in Southeastern, Colorado so know and love the plains. Well done.!!! Chet

The clouds add a nice sweep to this wide open spaces shot. Nice.

An awsome cloud-scape. Maybe a touch more land on the bottom would help the balance for me, but pretty cool as is. A couple of dust spots in the blue portion of the sky you may want to clean up before printing.

Richard, your low placement of the horizon emphasizes the stunning dynamics in the sky wonderfully to me.
