Storm on the Painted Plains

This is a photograph depicting Oregon's unusual and appropriately

named Painted Hills national monument. Near sunset, a thunderstorm

descended over the distant landscape while filtered sunlight shone

unto the foreground grasses for just a second, accentuating the

feilds beneath dramatic skies. Ratings are not accepted but

comments and critiques are appreciated.

Beautiful photo. Clouds are very interesting and I like the way you framed the distant clouds with the stormy puffs; nice three dimenstional effects also. Composition works well for me with its multilayers of interests. Very nice lighting. Well done.

Well this is outstanding. One of the best landscapes I have seen for a while (and this is my main interest). Hats off, impeccable quality. Composition, colors and tones, detail, just perfect. No nitpicks from me.

Less dramatic but much more powerful, really. I could watch this image for hours.

Impressive and sharp detailed composition, light and colors all work in beautiful harmony. Exposure is spot on!

Fantastic Shot there Marc,

I would love to have some of your pictures poster size and framed hanging on my walls. Keep up the Great work and enjoying God's creation. All the Best to you and your loved ones.

I will have a display at the Art Wolfe gallery in Seattle this Summer as part of the Environmental Photo Invitational event. Some images can be seen there. Or you can purchase a matted/framed/signed 20x30 for $450 ;-) Thanks David.

Very, very beautiful. Bravo!

What a beautiful landscape vision you have. This is not only a very special place but you have seen a most balanced image. I like it because it is not the "usual" dramatic red sky at sunset or the extreme wide angle image but an apparently "normal" view. Exquisite.
