| This is a really great photo. I like the closeup yet far away feeling it gives. The clouds are beautiful, and I like the landscape in the background. You're cropping definitely gave it a certain flair. |

| Thanks everyone for the comments and compliments. I was really kind of surprised that this was as well recieved as it was, just because I expected a lot of cloud pictures. But I was happy with the shot myself. I almost didn't get it. I had taken a lot of tighter shots, trying to get more detail on the hills. Then, as I was ready to quit, my daughter asked if I had gotten those whispy (stratus?) clouds - this one shot was the one that worked. Unfortunately, I had to crop a lot of the ground because below the bottom of what was left was a lot of messy looking development. Obviously, from the comments, there was a mixture of opinions on how well that worked. Thanks again. BTW, the title turned out quite appropriate - the second storm that came in the next day dumped almost 3 inches of rain on us, which is a lot for So. Cal. |

| Love how you've made the ground so small in the shot, yet it still has depth to it. Great sky. |

| I would have sacrificed the cloud on the top right for some more ground. Good perspective on the clouds and nice capture. I would prefer a little more than a sliver of earth though |

| have you try to crop out the small upper cloud? I think a narrower crop would have given more interest. Just a hint! Nice picture. |

| Fabulous distance in this shot, a real sense of scale. Whilst the very low horizon really helps the sense of hight, I wonder if you haven't perhaps excluded too much of the ground - as I look, I really want to see something more foreground-y. Minor point, though, but foreground elements can really 'place' landscape shots. |

| Between storms is a good title! Those whispy white clouds give this image heaps of impact! |

| Lovely lighting and color. Love seeing these scenes. The clouds have some great "pictures" of their own there. Nice use of negative space and leaving the mountains. Where is this shot at? The mountains here in CO always give these dramatic clouds. From the suns position, I would say this is shot to the west. Maybe CO frontrange? (C: |

| Very nice! I like the mountains in the background. You did very with this photo...in fact, I think, after seeing so many dismal sky shots in this challenge, this is a refreashing site. This is well focused and the colors are great. |

| Out of all the "sky" shots, this is the best one, in my opinion. The cloud formation is interesting and well captured in your photo. The mountains and landscape in the foreground give it good dimension. Well done and nicely focused which most other lack. Good luck |

| great motion on the clouds, and your horizon is straight and unobtrusive, but still adds something to start from in the picture! |

| I would have liked to be able to see more of the landscape....and where was this taken. Those mountains look familiar. |

| I like the choice of composing with the horizon low but present. Adds something that the clouds alone would miss. |
