A nice combination of the expansiveness of forest and the closeness of the clouds, an impending storm, perhaps. As the title says, "contrast." I like the immediacy of the moment.

I don't think that the clouds have a great impact on this scene as the foreground greens are terrific and seem to take center stage for me. I enjoy the shot, 7.
