Taken on a really, REALLY long way home from my family's ranch NE of Merced on the way back to Los Angeles. It was stormy all around us to the SW, but not where we were at about the 43/46 interchange, so we went due west and into the Temblor Range via Bitterwater Valley Road and then onto the Carrizo Plain, where the clouds made the extension of the journey worthwhile.

If you were Alain Briot, you'd twist the upper gray cloud to replicate the shape of the mountain ridge. ;)

Great shot as is !

Beautiful!!!!

Oh, man. Now I have to go and Google "Alain Briot"
Sometimes I feel like I'm the photo-knowledge equivalent of a guy who uses the wrong fork during the wrong course.

Nah... just read his articles on photo manipulation here, on LuLa.

Well done. I think that is a remarkable image. I wish it were mine. If I'd shot that image, I would process a variant that was a panorama. That's is certainly not a criticism of your image, just the way I see multiple opportunities in one well shot image.
-
Great image. The uppermost band of cloud is superfluous in my view, but this is a nit.
-
Great light and excellent capture!
-
Nice! The Temblor Range is a hidden California gem, especially in spring when it's green.
-
Wonderful, an outstanding image.
-
The grey cloud ban it not working for me. I would crop it out to just below it or go pano.
But that is just my take on this stunning image.

While it's not a pano, per se, here's a wider take on it, processed differently than the first on, slightly lighter touch. I also just noticed a clone spot in the upper cloud, frame right.

Now I have to add another site to my list of Places To Visit!
Both are excellent. I prefer the first, but I think both could do with cropping at the top.

Thanks. I think the easiest way to get that clone stamp out of the 2nd on is, as you say, simply to crop.
If you ever need any pointers about what's around there (and there's a lot around there, not all of it obvious as to how to get there) let me know.

I am very reluctant to mess with someone else's image, especially without their permission. Please forgive me. This is what I was thinking of.

With due respect to Jeremy, I have to say that Colorado David's edit/plano is very appealing.

I agree: it's pretty much exactly what I had in mind.

Thanks for the offer! I shall.

Very dramatic, but I agree with those who would lose the top band of cloud. It clashes with the rest of this lovely image.
-
Good timing. I'd keep the top clouds: they add a satisfying symmetry, and remind me that life is messy.

No need to apologize; great minds think alike!
I have several like that that I've made since posting it, and yours is an admirable take on it.
Thanks!

Great image, with lots of potential for possible interpretations, as seen.

How did I miss this one? I guess it happened when I was away for a week.
But WOWIE! What a stunning image. The place may be photogenic, but its surely the light and dark clouds that make the image.
If it were my shot, I'd probably crop out the lighter clouds at the top but keep pretty much all of the dark clouds, in either the original or the pano version.
Truly spectacular in all versions!
