One of the most amazing cloud displays I ever witnesed. Please enjoy, Tomas

All opinions and critiques are welcome.

wonderful shot

Sublime! Regards.

Amazing!!

Fantastic.......perfect. Regards,Scott.

Wonderful! Good compostition and a great exposure.

Impressive! The sky is wonderful, no doubt, but the dry ground is also marvelous!... Very good! Love the tonality!... Best regards.

Great use of "cold" toning. The sky is great, but the ground is pretty good too.

Strong monochrome image, with amazing tone rendering. The composition and the rendering of the structure in the ground are amazing

Besides all the good words that have been said already I would have 2 things 2 say:

 

I find it way too drastic and inestetically split in half, guess the repeated pattern on the ground could be cropped and leave more sky inside the frame...close to 2/3....

 

Second...an "anchor" point in the foreground would be needed ...I imagine there was nothing there...but you could manage smtng on the spot....a foulard or smtng... ;-)

 

Best regards

 

 

 

Very beautiful vertical composition and rich details. Best regards. Glauco

Sorin you are right. Composition could be moved up, or down or sideways. As a matter of fact I have several more images with different comps.

 

As for the FG interest. I think that the cracks in mud are strong enough, and actually anything else would distract from them, so I must respectfully disagree with you there.

 

 

Bravo! I wouldn't change a thing; the foreground interest is perfect, and the sky is sublime! Where was this taken? Beautiful work, Tomas! Cheers! Chris

Enjoyed very much Tomas - what a wonderful sight and beautiful details!

I always enjoy viewing your images. I can't see how this can be improved!

Simply put, it is a wonderful, elegant image. It has wonderful tones and texture. Above there was a discussion of cropping. I would have probably cropped bit off the top and a tiny bit off the right, but sometimes we get too obsessed with our aesthetic rules. I think the image stands quite nicely as is, and it may just be stronger because it does not exactly conform to what is expected. I think the image is more about the competing textures. But, what do I know. In any case, nicely done. Dan

Taking a departure from the purely technical, what effects me is the drama, and visual foreboding you've managed to create with this image. The endless task of crossing the dry baron desert, an imminent storm on the horizon. Beyond the beautiful composition and textures, there is some very effective storytelling. going on here. Cheers.

 

May I ask where you shot this?

Really like the clouds, was this shot near the Racetrack in Death Valley?

Great photo, I feel some spirituality in this photo.

Excellent!

This is a surreal image conveying the end of the world. The subtle absence of colours is amazing .

 

Tomas, You are welcome to have a look at my images from the TSOATSOA land (where time ends and space begins or the other way..)

Powerfully tranquil. Ever so strong in composition. Bravo!
