Prairie Sky
This view didn't seem to have much to offer as I stood there before the sun starting going down. The light sure made a difference on what was just a ordinary scene.

Brad,
One of your better presentations I think. The skyline being dark with lighter portions upper and lower is a different take. It give a good sense of depth and perhaps a slight ominous feeling that the bright clouds might harbor more than reflected sunshine.
The lines of the clouds contrast nicely with the vertical grasses.
On my monitor I might be tempted to lighten the foreground even more...??
Great shot.

That was a pretty awesome sky you had, Brad. The grasses in the foreground are interesting, and provide nice depth for the image. Nice work.

Wow great sky, I think you could have put anything in front of that and made it look good, ordinary scene or not.

Gorgeous clouds and golden light. Excellent comp. The image just takes the viewer into its magic.

stunning light and clouds, Brad. The far valleys look strange to me, really washed out compared to the rest of the scene.

Looks like a great scene. Here's to the prairie !! However the blending of sky and grass does not seem right. Not sure what it is but I think tweaking it would help.
