 Pulled over on the side of the road when I noticed how dramatic the sk was and snapped this, I tried to find an interesting foreground but the light disappeared pretty quickly. Played with this a little to try and keep the dramatic effect without blowing out the highlights, it didn't work so well :(

I gave this a 9 and think it was very undervalued

I don't like the frame -- it is a bit much, but the shot is very well done and is effective in its simplicity

Very clever title for a very dramatic photo.

You have either captured the head of a horse or a dragon a inch or two above the... in lack of a better word... motive. Interesting shot, but I expect more from photos in this challenge. Maybe a bit less from this photo being I find it overprossessed; correct me if I'm wrong.

Love the moody tone to this. The border makes it look like it came out of a movie.

Wow very creative idea and the photo is nice. There's something weird about the colors and values in the clouds... a little overprocessed? I sill love it though. Good job. :)

Very beautiful. I like the lamp, it keeps the picture grounded and close. Great job!
