 39K foot cloud. I got an amazingly clean window on my flight back from New York so I was snapping away the whhhhooolllleee time...LOTS of cloud pics. I like this one because it has such drama with all that contrast and I was amazed how dark the sky came out in this shot. No filters, no nuthin' just a really bright cloud against a blue sky. Editing was pretty simple: no crop, curves, smart sharpen, neatimage, more sharpening, burned a little bit of the cloud, dodged part of the sky, sharpened more, saved for web.

Not sure how this will score, the subject matter is very simple, but again I'm hoping that the contrast will boost this up.

...well...poop :(

I expect this looked much more impressive in reality than in this picture.
