Your perspective here gives such a vast, powerful feeling to the photo. Excellent shot.

Thanks for the comments!

The storm passed and dumped a good bit of rain and some hail. I wish I had a wide angle lens. The whole sky was mammatus clouds under the anvil of the large cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) cloud. It was so large it made cropping a challenge.

great sky, but the photograph needs more earth. IT looks a little bit funny this way.

Awesome storm shot. The clouds have mammatus appearance, and it appears that you used a longish exposure and captured some movement. I'm glad you captured some horizon because it's absolutely essential to add some perspective to any sky shot for a sense of scale. However, I don't think the photo has enough Wow Factor to really drive the score up. Still, good eye for storms. I hope you were safe!
