Hello Heida,

Congrats on the well deserved ribbon.

i love this shot and will defiantly add it to my favorites. One thing I wanted to mention though is that it find the blue color in the top part of the highlighted clouds a bit distracting only because I noticed it and thought cool look at the blue. Otherwise I love the image and the composition and lighting.

Congrats!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/20/2003 12:31:22 AM
Excellent image. congrats!

08/20/2003 12:27:01 AM
I figured you'd be getting a ribbon soon! Great shot and keep up the good work!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/20/2003 12:18:41 AM
Well done on the ribbon, I'm sure there will be many more!

Great contrast

Could just be me but the sky looks over edited. - 4
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/19/2003 08:06:27 PM
Excellent shot...very emotive. I probably would prefer it without the border...gilding the rose and all that. Meets the challenge though and could be a winner. 8

very cool pic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/19/2003 10:41:27 AM
Those clouds really adds a very dramatic impact. I'm not sure what the structures are, they kind of remind me of the oil pumps out in the countryside here, but they do an adequate job conveying desolation.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/19/2003 08:33:50 AM
Great photo. Is this huge amounts of unshrp mask and filters or was the sky really that amazing!?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/19/2003 02:04:42 AM
That sky is insane, it makes the picture very moody. Great shot. 8.

Grat! (9)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/18/2003 11:56:29 AM
Wonderful contrast. I don't see the theme much here, though. It looks to me as more of an "abandoned" theme, but it's still a great photo!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/17/2003 09:07:21 PM
I really cant male out what the foreground is, but the sky is amazing- and its a great photo-- 9

surreal sky. One of my favs.

Awesome sky, good contrast.

nice foreboding effect. the clouds really come alive.

Wicked looking sky. Was this done with neat image. 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.

You did a great job. The clouds are stunning and the silhouettes are striking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/15/2003 03:44:59 PM
I'm ignorant about what I'm looking at -- don't know what the structures are -- but I will take your word that they something of a desolate nature :). Amazing clouds. I love the high contrast between the light and dark portions. I think you chose to compose this shot perfectly making the clouds predominant. Very, very nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/14/2003 10:21:40 PM
Neat pic, great mood, but it looks like you used too much unsharp mask?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/14/2003 03:48:48 PM
The clouds are very menacing and this makes me think of the future as depicted in the Terminator films.

great shot! Creates a great mood
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/14/2003 12:11:09 PM
Well, you got my blue ribbon. The sky is very surreal and makes it look like we really mesed up the world and it is over. Very desolate to me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/14/2003 03:56:34 AM
Great picture. Great at the challenge also. Congrats, you did it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 11:51:09 PM
If the sky looks like this where you live I would consider relocating! 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 11:23:58 PM
One of my top three, the sky works perfectly to set the very ominous mood. Well Done!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 06:52:05 PM
Very good picture, good mood and colours! Excellent job! - 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 04:40:15 PM
This certainly gives the impression of desolation, even if what we're looking at is perfectly innocuous. Dramatic clouds amd excellent contrast and lighting. [8]
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 04:02:39 PM
the stormy sky has motion in an interesting way
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 01:08:52 PM
I would have desaturated that little bit of blue out if possible. Great photo though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 10:41:01 AM
A photo very full of impact, excellent work - 10.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 08:18:38 AM
Superb sky, intereresting silhouettes on the horizon. I'd have prefered a more wide-angle perspective for desolation though. The touches of blue are ver effective. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 02:11:18 AM
I like how you captured the clouds. They add drama and impending doom.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 01:11:04 AM
Wow. This is a great shot. I'm not really sure what those are in the foreground, but they evoke a feeling of abandonment that works great. The contrasts, and those clouds, are arresting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
08/13/2003 12:43:18 AM
The texture and colour of the cloud works well together. This reminds me of water-colout paintings. Not sure what are they on the ground though.
