I love the shadow/light play in this. My eyes want a little more of that dramatic sky, but that's the only nit I have... you captured a great weather transition! :toast:

I'm sitting here thinking I would like a swim in that refreshing looking lake... I'll pretty much echo Curtis' comments. The cloud shadows make this interesting and the clouds are dark and mysterious. I'd even like to see more of them, but it's hard to say if it was feasible to get more of them in the comp since I wasn't there. Looks like you were really close to the ceiling up there!

Pretty dramatic. Manifests the dynamic-mountainous-weather patterns well. As I'm looking at the lake and gauging the accessibility of it, I'm wishing there was something in the foreground to display the distance better.

Very dramatic, Cezar - I'm not as aware of the lack of a near foreground, though I would consider pulling back the highlights a bit to soften the sunlit patches of forest & meadow. Beautiful part of Oregon down there among Faith, Hope and Charity! (I think I've got that right)
