More of the clouds last night w/ repost for contrast freaks :>)
Like Christopher, I could not resist running out to grab some photos of the the wave cloud at sunset. I revisited the pond not far from me. The color was great.

Comments and critiques always welcome, and thank you.

5d, 28-135mm, polarizer, tripod, 2 exposure manual blend. :biggrin:

These CO wave clouds are just amazing, you captured the colour nicely from your local location!. I would add a tad more contrast, even perhaps darken the image slightly too - just to add a little more pop!.

Cool clouds Morris. I really like seeing the clouds reflection in the pond.

I like it Morris, but I think it would be just as nice with the foreground reduced to shadow.

Thanks for the suggestions and comments guys. Here's a rework. Better?

Mmm, I'm not sure on the foreground as dark as that, I would either go back somewhere in between the two images, or crop so there is less black - just my personal preference :).

As usual, an overcorrection on my part. :redface:

Very cool image. The last one works for me.
