Storm Coming
This is a shot before the storm hit us Sunday :) Rained so hard couldn't see in front of yourself and penny size hail.

Like the FG trees you used to frame the shot. Hope you didn't get any damage from hail.

Thanks Kendall, No damage just knocked off some leaves but I thought it was a cool looking cloud so I considered it nature yet :) TFL

Very interesting capture. I like the silhouetted trees and the cloud is amazing. It has a nice, clean three layered effect to it. Can you help me understand the shadowy haloes that are just above the tops of the cloudburst? No matter what, its a cool shot, thanks for sharing it!

Thats one heck of a storm cloud. Really neat Mike

Brian I think that shadowy haloes your talking about other have told me they have an lenticular effect. I know they have like standing lenticular clouds so I'm guessing it another cloud formation. Hope this helps

Yow, those are some spooky looking thunderheads. And the haloing...those really do have the look of lenticular clouds in the background.
