Good detail in the clouds. A polarizer might have helped reduce the window reflection a little.

This would have been such a good image it is a shame about the reflection from the glass window.

I think plane shots always lend some interest, but I think you could have made this a little more dramatic, messing around with contrast and saturation and stuff. Playing around with the "automatic color correction" feature in photoshop (if you have that feature) can really improve shots like this because it removes that slight bluish tint from the clouds, adding more of a color variety. The tilted "horizon" here is a little distracting to me too.

cloud shots never turn out as good as we want them too. The biggest problem is there is no subject for the eye to rest on.

The biggest problem with these kinds of pictures is that the airliner window is ALWAYS dirty. You did a good job.

Pretty sloppy, huh?

Does this match challenge? It's just clouds. Even with the title it doesn't really do it for me. 4

beautiful. nice capture. there seems to be a slight lens flare or maybe window reflection(its hard to tell which) that takes away from the beauty of the sky. the clouds are stunning though.

Beautiful shot of the clouds, but it doesn't jump right out at me as a superstition or urban legend. I also wish there was something for the eye to focus on in the shot - I find myself looking among the clouds for a specific point of interest. That's just me though. Nice shot. :)

Zeus wasn't a Superstition or an Urban Legend. It is a story of Mythology. Neeldess to say, the clouds are not all that empressive to draw me to a 'kingdom' in the sky look.
