Maybe should only be in the "Clouds" thread - eh?

I mean it's nice... the contrast, the shadows are deep and the way it fades from dark to light behind the cloud.  But what would you do with it?  Are you going to hang this on your wall?  Put it in a gallery?  An office?  What emotion does it evoke for you that you're trying to communicate to us?  That we should eat cotton candy?  If that's the case maybe double expose some cotton candy over the sucker :)!  Add a pink hue, and put a handle on the cloud?

I just liked the Rembrandt colors and the depth I was able to get out of a quite complex cloud formation...I hang about 10% of what I post here, though I do make a large test print of most things I post...just to see.

That's way more than I do... do you shoot in Adobe RGB then convert for web?

Shoot in RAW, process in ProPhoto. My printer can print from ProPhoto so don't need to change the profile.
