ok so here is the deal i missed a really good image for this challenge since i stupidly for got to take my camera with me when i went on a drive through the country side....but....the other day when i saw this cloud cover comming in i knew it would make for a great shot weather or not it applies to this challenge...?....Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.......

here is what i did.....-
1.Raw conversion (nothing special)
2.cloned out some CCD filth (i didn't know i had)
3.applied an ISO CubeTile (i have done this to other challenge enteries an they have been oked so...)
4.made finnal adjustments-color,contrast,curves etc. (what ever it needed)
5.Resized to 640@150kb
6.Discided on the boarder and didn't look back

thanx to all who comment and vote and thanx to the viewers also.

also i hope the title fits the image still havn't thought of it yet....lol.....
ok so i got a name, i hope it is excepted...(S.K.Y.)....i don't know seems kinda dumb but what the heck lets see if ppl. comment on it........

also the word - keep- in this case is being used in its noun form as in a castel's keep:the strong hold or core of a castel.

not as in keep away u grimmy little monkey....lol it is to late.....

Almost spectacular, the perfectly symmetric dodged corners are a little weird, but the frame is the big problem.

Very nice..would be better if the darks were less dark and provided a little more detail. I assume english may not be your primary language but the title has some errors.

Very dramatic. Perhaps a bit too melodramatic - all that high contrast but with no central subject feels like a bit of a contradiction - I suppose your intent is "what we do not see but can imagine."

Wow! That is an amazing cloudscape(?). great detail and tonal range but I wish there was a reference point ie a smidgen of landscape to identify as opposed to a volcanic eruption or something similar - good luck
