This was taken a couple weeks ago, but I finished up the post-processing yesterday...

Very nice image. I think it's those unique clouds that help make the picture what it is. I really like that subdued cobalt blue sky as well.

You don't see that every day and it is one of my favorite colors too BTW.

Gorgeous image, and incredibly graphic, Jason.  I think I'd like to see the barrel distortion corrected to make the curvature less of a distraction, but it works either way.  Did you have an eye on that cloud formation until it got to the right place for you, or get lucky (not to diminish the skill part!)?

Really like this image Jason....the clouds are a feature, but you've done a great job of the tones.

Cheers

I love the way the clouds parody the shape of the trees.  My only criticism MIGHT be that it's a bit too heavy on the bottom...

Really well done!

Mike.

Thank you all!  I edited to eliminate the distortion...  I agree, the clouds make the image.  I was actually lucky  because I saw the formation while I was still setting up the tripod.  It had moved a little bit, but a quick shift in position set me up perfectly for this.  Again, thanks for all your kind words!

I really like this.  Very very cool. That'd be great on a large print.

Fantastic shot, and much better now.

I like this a lot, it would have been nice without they clouds, but they really put this one over the top. The second edit without the distortion is an improvement over the first. Well done.
