Fluffy cloud alert

Had some amazing skies around here recently, so I took a couple hours for lunch and went out for a drive. C&C welcome!

And one of just the clouds, wish I had some interesting foreground on this but I was driving to the (very ugly) town dump at the time:

Amazing skies and amazing photos of them. Really lovin' that windmill and wheat field shot especially, the details captured are beautiful.

These are wonderful, thoughton. I love the sea of lavender in shot #3 though the windmill is really cool too.

Great captures!

I think you did very well emphasizing the clouds even when there was a good deal of land in the shot. Sometimes it's hard not to make them 'just the sky'.

Wow, the windmill is my favorite. I don't have the wide open skies like that but looking at those shots makes me wish I did sometimes!

awesome clouds here! In terms of CC, I really like shot 1 but it looks quite distorted perspective wise.
I can't make up my mind if the slope in shot 4 is a distraction or adds tension. hmmm
Shots 3, and 5 for me please! It's rare that I REALLY like shots of just clouds, but shot 5 is seriously working for me.
Hope that helps - Marko

Wow. Amazing is the right word. Hard to pick a fav but that 3rd shot (lavender skies) gets the nod from me.

Wow. Amazing is the right word. Hard to pick a fav but that 3rd shot (lavender skies) gets the nod from me.

I second that whole heartedly

Love the first one. The windmill against that amazing sky and the green grass.
