my lousy folder o' photos smoke from forest fire

I uploaded this one about 30 minutes after I took it... Long enough to remove the power line from the bottom left. Anyhow, I give mother nature a 6 for asthetics (it was prettier earlier, but I didn't have a camera) and myself a 1 for originality (I walked out the back door of the store and pointed the camera, on auto, at the cloud. Also, the exposure date is September, not August.

You're a big fan of centering things and that just won't hit the market very well. Always try to use the rule of thirds... there are two planes, the horizontal and the vertical... try not to hit the 1/2 mark on either plane.. in this shot, you hit both..
