 for Magaly...

Bottom frame with minimal edits(curves in RAW conversion and sharpening are only edits)...



Both images are hdr conversions from a single RAW file converted to 1,0,-1 stops. Most of the tonality came from levels adjustments.

I just wanted to add the actual sky was closer in appearance to the b&w version than to the color. A lot of the sky detail was lost in exposing for the dark horse and had to be brought back. I didn't know at the time, but there was a sizable tornado about ten miles to the east and that is why the sky is so dramatic. See PapaBob's portfolio for actual photos of the funnel.

These are both such powerful images, I especially love the bottom one with that wonderful distortion! Excellent processing, what a great, dramatic view!

I especially love that top one and it's perspective. Beautiful b/w - to me more interesting and dramatic than the color. The clouds are awesome.

I don't think you can take a photo I don't love. Man - the intensity of detail is like pen and ink!! Outstanding duet of photos. Fav!!
