Fits The Challenge:Yes, IMHO

Composition-Content:Just beautiful. The silhouettes of the trees against the sky/clouds is very nicely arranged. Over all focus is nice yet not perfect. I could do without the black frame, but it's not obtrusive to the shot. I would of liked a different crop, maybe a 480x640 would of done this more justice.

Background-Haunting cloud formation, soft lovely color.

Digital Processing-Good since I don't see it. I do think the area of sun is a over exposed but it's small and not _that_ fried in this case. I did note the shutter speed and the ISO.

My Opinion-This shot is appealing to me because of the change in light. It's only after I've looked at too long and with a critical eye that I find the tree on the right a distraction. In fact I start to resent it for interrupting my view of the clouds. The clouds are this shot, the main focal point. I see where it was called a 'cloudscape'. Yes, I'd agree. I do however think the tree silhouette is stunning for the fact that it is a silhouette and we don't see a great deal of detail. Room for improvement ......sure. Just too minor to mention.
Thanks for the chance to review your landscape shot.

Very good composition. The sun is a little bright, but not that distracting. I love the sillouhette of the taller trees.

Atmospheric photo, but the straggly seedling in the foreground doesn't really set it off well. Nice clouds.

What a great idea! One of the nicer cloud photographs :) I like the texture of the clouds, the the tall jutting branch on the right hand side. The front of the photograph is a bit dark, but I love the way there's jutting whitish grass (?), bushes (?) in the front, they're just amazing. I love the silhouettes. -8- Annida

Very moody shot and the border actually improves the shot rather than detracting from it.

That is a beautiful shot, I really liked the level where you placed the trees, There doesn't seem to be too much sky due top the 2 tall trees. The only thing I don't like about the shot is the sun is tooooo bright I have a hard time looking at the picture on my monitor.7.

Beautiful silouette of the forest and such a dramatic sky. Good job.

a cloudscape is not a landscape
