| awesome shot. This reminds me of that poster for the movie production company, I can't remember the name. I think your work is fabolous and this is a shot few people can make. |

Congratulations, David, it's good to see you on the front page again!
My family and I just came back on Tuesday from almost your neck of the woods - we went to WYoming (again!) for about 10 days. Sure saw a number of scenes like this one. It's so beautiful.
Congratulations again! |

Wow, thanks for the comments and votes! There are a lot of very strong images in this challenge; I'm quite surprised at this result.
Some had questioned whether I was going through this storm--the fact is, I had just barely come through it. Luckily, we were behind a large truck for the rain was amazing and coming down by the bucket load. We really couldn't see a thing and had considered stopping. But just as we (my wife and I) were about to pull over, it stopped very suddenly. We went a bit further and I stopped to get the photo. I do wish I were just a few feet to the right--but was afraid of traffic behind me.
Thanks again! |

| This is a menacing yet calming photo at the same time. I'm a bit hesitant about the blown detail to the right but it seems like the dark clouds offsets the image and balances things out. 7. |
|
|
|
08/18/2005 07:46:34 PM |
| I suspect the apparently tilted horizon is an optical illusion - I sometimes feel it is better to cheat things a little to correct those, as illusion or no it disturbs the ba;ance of the image somewhat. The absolute darkness of the clouds feels unreal, especially given the contrast with the flatness of the light on the land. |

| The leading lines of the road going into the storm, and the division of the picture into earth/space/clouds is particularly effective. However the slight shift to the left kinda bothers me. It is not enough to feel like it is on a stable "third spot" but not centered enough to give the picture a stable feeling. Knowing how some people are uneasy before a storm, though, that might help establish the mood. |

By the time you're there it's all over. :)
Good subject matter, technically good. The brightness on top is a bit distracting, it draws the eye out of the rainstorm. I would like to see a tighter crop tat focusses more on the road and the dark clouds. 7 |
