Something a little different
While shooting in Tumwater Canyon last week, I looked over my shoulder and saw this creepy scene. It's disturbing, with the cloud seemingly trying to grab the tree as it leans away. I like it's graphic impact but I find it unpleasant.

Thanks for looking. Any thoughts?

Sony R1, 1/1000 @ f/8, 24-120 lens @ 40mm.

The flatness of the ridge and trees contrasting with the clouds is an interesting effect. Not my favorite, but interesting nonetheless.
