out of nowhere

I think I’ve been anthropomorphizing clouds all my life. I was giving

clouds human traits long before I knew there was a term for it. I

think most artists, most of us photographer do this with a lot of

things. It helps inform our art. Here I turned to catch this

menacing character sneaking up on me from behind the dunes. Comments

and critique appreciated.

I think clicking the larger view will give a better sense how menacing this cloud felt.

the contrast if fantastic. Warm regards.

Jorge,

Many thanks. 

Wayne,

  Beautiful image with wonderful composition & dramatic cloud formation.  Take care, Patsy

Wayne.Quite a storm brewing.Cloud formation well captured.

Really nice shot, Wayne. The clouds are great; they are like a roiling surf crashing over the dunes. We may already be underwater, looking up at the wild eddies of a crashing wave.

I like the way the ominous looking cloud had a darker centre, it looks like it could be digesting something...it could have been you next :)

 

Great Vision!

Patsy,

Many thanks.  Glad you appreciate this image.

John,

Thanks.  This cloud demanded attention.

Jack,

Thanks.  This cloud spoke all of that to me.

Alf,

Many thanks, particularly for acknowledging the vision.  As you know the processing, particularly the tonal work, entailed an interpretation of the scene.

Another great cloud image, Wayne.  Love the way it flows form left to right.

Excellent work...

I am telling you, this cloud has come to life, you better watch out!

Jerry,

Many thanks.  This cloud was seriously demanding attention.

Michail,

Thanks.  It was alive.

This works well with its simplicity. Steve

Many thanks for the visit and comment, Steve. The clouds along the Outer Banks can be dramatic.
