Nature's Palette(Pls view LARGE)

Very well done Cherlyn, I saw Spencer's first the other day so I am kind of over the wow factor, but yours looks great too. Very well done. (I like both of yours but the first one a little bit better I think.)

 

DK.

Awesome shot, looks atomic.

Dear Cherlyn, this is a most unique natural phenomenon and you've captured it in an exellent way. Even the silhouettes of the trees seems to bend for it. I'm in doubt about the one I like the best, cherlyn. They are all phenomenal.It most have been an enormous experience for you and your friends to come face to face with this wonder of nature. I can imagine that this is something you will never forget!

They're all very nice, BUT... I find the animation itself distracting and annoying. It would have been much better to post the two "alternate" versions separately, even if as follow-up posts to the main one.

 

You asked which version "we" prefered. It's hard to say due to the animation; but I *think* I prefer the half of the animation where the composition is very similar to the main shot, while being significantly bluer overall -- but like I said, it's very difficult to be sure, given that the animation itself gets in the way.

Now, did you also capture the spaceship itself??!!

Best regards.

Una composicion excelente llena de una calidad tecnica de sobresaliente.

Great capture! Congrats.

wow. what a fabulous cloud and colors dear Cherlyn!

B:l:ana

Simply put, very powerful image.

Awesome cloud formation and very unusual. I love to watch weather and I would be curious to find out what can create such a phenomenon. The lovely palm silhouettes are a bonus here.

Very nice clouds cherlyn like it very mcuh. Palms also creat a drama here. Mixing of rainbow in clouds just bothering me. Plz no hards feelings.

 

Regards.

great shot mon amie,, I am really pleased for you to have had such a view too.

This is a trully amazing shot! Reminds me an enlighted sea medusa.

Bolti, of course no hard feelings but this is a natural phenomenon. A very unusual sight & it's the first time all of us ever seen this. No mixing. One can never expect & will be amazed what nature can show us.

Thks all for your comments & ratings.

Amazing shot ! 7/7

A wonderful job with a lovely phenomena.

Tone, colours and composition, all is just great.

Congratulations.

Very original shot. Well done!

All in one. Very smart act. should stop when you call me. miss this great picture. very well taken. 7/7

This is a high altitude cloud (usually ice crystals) that just happens to have the other cloud in the foreground. I am not sure exactly which phenomena it is, but here is a great link for you look it up at: http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/halo/chaim2.htm

Thanks, Louis. I'll check up the link. Seems that many have not seen such phenomenon before.I am so lucky to see & capture it.

Amazing! I'm not sure whether I would be standing staring or running for cover :-). The tree silhouettes work well to ancjor the shot.

Cherlyn, this is a unique phenomenon. This shot is the best, imo, but I love how the animation shows different angles.

O.K., I missed to be the seventh ... RE
