Big Cloud

A local photo taken recently.

It's a bit scruffy in the foreground and there's some lens distortion too, but I still quite like it.

Re: Big Cloud

Thanks Tom and Paul. I think it's a bit of a Marmite shot, luckily I like Marmite.

Re: Big Cloud

I don't like Marmite, but I love this shot. Dynamic and dramatic, with a good dose of "wow" thrown in.

Re: Big Cloud

I think it's a blooming wonderful shot. Nothing better than an out of the ordinary sky with mental clouds in it. To add to the great shot, a wee rainbow? really? does mother nature follow you about lol

Re: Big Cloud

Thanks again. I really was in two minds with this one as I hate the scruffy foreground, but I couldn't manage to cleanly remove the twigs and branches, at least not with the spot removal tool. I'm not too handy with the clone tool, I'd just make it look worse. I thought about cropping the foreground, but it just ruined what there was of the limited composition.
