thadley 15 Posted February 12, 2007 Driving home from work I spotted these clouds so I headed to my favourite photo spot. I took this one, hung around and then expected to have even more spectacular colors and clouds but a wind took away these clouds and I was left with not much. Hope you will like it. Thanks.

thadley 15 Posted February 13, 2007 Dieter, Paula, Cherlyn, Debra, Ibrahim, many thanks for your comments and vote of confidence in this photo. It is appreciated. I am getting a better sense of what folks from PN like but don't think I will ever have a full handle on that. I suppose it is our nature as expressed by someone who said "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Have a great day and keep on pushing the photo button and the visual envelope. Link to comment
fredfabila 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Good dramatic photo, the horizon is a little tilted to the right though, nothing that a little editing can't fix. Link to comment
fergi 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Tony- Wonderful composition. You cannot buy clouds like this. Good timing. Also, I like the slight tilt (which I didn't notice, another reason I just use my straighten tool before going further) and I don't think it detracts from the shot at all. I also love your portfolio of sunsets, and appreciate the diversity you present. Thanks for sharing. fergi Link to comment

regis 0 Posted February 14, 2007 The clouds are indeed very interesting but you didn't have to exaggerate with saturation and post-processing here. Now it doesn't look much real to me, but apparently people on this site like fairy-tale images :) Link to comment
thadley 15 Posted February 14, 2007 Piotr: I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment - it is the only way to reflect and learn. As a general rule I try to present a photo the way my memory recorded it and my mother knows that my memory ain't perfect. In most cases there are minor adjustments to be made and in this case I just slightly lowered the overal density of the photo. This is required mostly because with every film, lens, chemical processing, exposure, scanning combination will produce slightly different results and this is also true with different digital sensors, settings, etc (Canon, Nikon, etc). Those clouds were real, interesting, and I truly doubt that I will encounter that magic moment in my lifetime again. I try to carry my photo equipment with me as often as possible and I was rewarded on this ocassion. In less than 20 minutes, this scene no longer existed. Link to comment
joekonz 0 Posted April 12, 2007 I enjoy this very much, Tony. The cloud tapestry and color scheme are spectacular -- key attributes in this capture, and you nailed 'em. The minimalized lake/pond, in its balancing darkness, provides key perspective. Link to comment
