Another beauty Dan! It feels like this one has a more balanced foreground compared to your previous post. I simply can't get enough of clouds like these! BTW, is that a road or a trail that I see on the left? It's hard to judge the scale of it from the picture....

Nice layered comp and great clouds Dan. I also like the shadow on the mountain. No suggestions on my part.

Very moody image Dan. The sky really makes it for me!

Splendid image, better than the first one in my opinion. The sky is beautiful, and the overall mood is quite appropriate for this active volcano... The large version does some justice to the details and it is a pleasure to look at...

Nice! This has a lovely, painterly feel to it. Beautiful scene.

Another strong image of St Helens. Definitely like the foreground better with this one.

Nice comp and really nice sky Dan with a nice mood to it. I like this view more than the original version as it has
a better fore ground. Well done.

Another good show of America's natural history, Dan.

Dan, This one almost slipped past me for some reason so glad I caught it now. This is really a wonderful scene and capturing it with that amazing sky looks fantastic! Very nice work! :smile:

This is sweet, Dan. I really like the soft light and color throughout the frame. :cool:
