The exposure looks right on here - I wonder how it would look by taking off some of the blue on top to balance the cloud...

When I saw your post Darren, I was fully expecting to see some of the frozen stuff. But this is a rare treat!!!! Personally I would not crop the top - that towering cumulowhatever needs some breathing room above it. It is just totally cool how it's balanced on top of a sturdy, cloud "arch" with an orange underside. What an awesome capture. This needs to be a huge print in my opinion. Do you take credit cards?

Beautiful detail and range of light and colors. I like the composition as well. Thanks for the reminder that sometimes clouds in themselves make a striking and beautiful image.

That's actually quite nice Darren, lovely colors and dynamics. I agree with Larry, we often only use clouds to complement when they can be very nice on their own.

I love clouds! This is an excellant display of them, that's for sure. It wont make a print, but it may sell as some kind of marketing backdrop...
