Thanks for all the encouraging comments. A little more about the picture.
- It was taken at ground level.
- I had been watching the thunderhead build for a coupls of hours and took shots now and then.
- This is looking East.
- About an hour before sunset, I moved out to the side of the house and setup on the tripod. You can sometimes get dramatic effects at the end of the day with the sun lighing just the top of the clouds.
- I would snap a shot now and then. These thunderheads change minute to minute.
- I heard the ducks quacking as they left the little pond by the house. They hung a left and past right in front of the camera. I got two shots since I was already setup on the tripod.

| Beautiful clouds, great opportunity shot with the ducks. Personally, would have cropped off most of the dark at the bottom. 8 |

| Beautiful picture. The clouds are spectacular, and the three ducks stand out so clear! The light touch of sepia is just right. ~10 |

| Great exposure on the cloud! Lovely tones and contrast with the silhouettes. I would probably have cropped a little differently, and left out the lagging duck. |

| Did you take this shot from a glider or a balloon? It's really cool. |

| One of my favourites this week. Good composition and the soft sepia tone is perfect. So is focus and the cropping. I don´t know how you could have done it better. Meets the challenge very well. Well done and good luck! |

| The duotone works so well here where colors might be distracting. This shows up the contrast between the clouds and the ducks - tiny black silouettes against a grand luminous cumulous! I like the darkness under the cloud - it emphasizes its weight. and the gentler definition at the top. Where were you? You must have been very quik to get the camera up when the ducks flew by. Wish the shutter speed had been high enough to freeze the wings - they are a little blurred, but I'm just being picky. 8 |

| This is just a amzing photo, abit to dark but a 10 from me, it works well here because it gives the clouds a great stormy effect, and the birds, wow what a capture, very good work and exposer. |

| This photo is just amazing. To catch these guys up here, more or less just to be up here is awesome. I'm not sure how this was done or what means were used to take it, but it is really cool and very well done. What I really like is the dark silhouettes against the clouds. That's really neat. - 9 |

| At first glance I thought the ducks to be silhouetted by a cloud, but now believe it to be a plume from a smoke stack, no? Has a spooky or mythical feel about it, neat effect. Good job! |
