Lovely! I like the contrast of the warm color in the sky with the cool color of the snow-covered mountains. Those clouds look quite threatening and do appear to be "scraping" across the mountains. I'm a bit distracted by the blurred cloud movement in the left side of the frame. . .but it certainly does indicate rapid movement. The pano comp works great for this. Very eye-catching image.

Craig,

Nice pano with lovely color and great dynamics. There looks to be some magenta in the whites of the snow, but that's minor. there's a bright white spot at the far right edge just above the ridge line that catches my eye. The apparent cloud movement doesn't bother me.

Very dramatic and lovely shot Craig, and I think the pano comp works really well here. Well done!

Very dynamic. Preston nailed this and I will agree with him. A little work puts this one over the top!

The deep shadows add some amazing drama Craig. Nice pano crop.

Wonderful image, really allows me to feel the density and power of the storm. Beautifully rendered!

the warm colors and deep shadows create some nice tension. I like the dramatic composition, as well. The bright white on the lower right side is a big eye magnet, though.

Very dramatic sky in this Craig and the pano format works great for this. Maybe a little less magenta in the mountains but wonderful as is.

Thank you guys(and gals!) for your critics... they either help me with something I missed or had a feeling about. In this case, the magenta in the shadows was one thing I was wary of. :jump:

Very dramatic.
I like the pano, but I would like to see less sky (crop off the dark featureless cloud) and more of the mountains base.
