Very interesting shot here. I like the light you captured behind the slope and the dark clouds in the sky. Good composition.
Well done!

Dramatic but beautiful sky. Very well composed and nice colours. What I like less is the frame. I would go for a white frame.

Hi Robert,
A huge star of a sun! Well that usually goes without saying. But you checked it, clear!
So to speak, again...:) But here darkness reveals every shade it's capable of. And some unseen previously, with darkness you never know for sure. I particularly like the texture of the clouds, resembling heather growing far away in the dusk ending...
Going so far, it's a deep sight! TFS, F' (out of:):) later on)

Hello Robert.
This is a stunning sunset view. The silhouette of the hills adding texture to the bottom portion of your photo works well.
The sun is captured very nicely. Great colors.
Very well done,

Hi Robert
This is a stunning and dramatic shot and I do enjoy! The sun is in a great location introducing us to the whole scene. The texture of the clouds is amazing and looks ominous. Great scattering of light on the landscape too, which makes the effect look like a lazer beam over the land. Great work.

Hola Robert,

Me gusta mucho el cielo en esta foto. Lograste captar perfectamente la fuerza de la tormenta aproximбndose.

Concuerdo con Aubrey en que la composiciуn (especialmente el lugar en el que has ubicado al sol) es excelente. La luz sobre el valle y la forma de las montaсas oscuras son el equilibrio ideal en la foto.

Felicitaciones!!!

Un saludo muy cordial,
Carlos

Dear Robert,
How much is this a real photograph and what percentage the PP hold in this marvellous shot, I would love to know for my deep understanding.
Such clouds can bring tornaodes to our PC, so I shall be very careful .
Hahaha
Love the outstanding contrast you have created.
Regards,
Rajeev

This is beautiful, I remember that type of cloud, not with that much colour,when living further west and having nothing in the way to the horizon. Used to bother me a bit with 3 small kids and when it rained we couldnt move from the house paddock or vehicle would sink in the black soil. Was lovely to look at though.TFS

Hi Robert,
Excellent composition. The sky indeed looks threatening yet at the same time we are witness to a great sunset. Wonderful colours.

Very nice storm you captured here, the line of dust or fog in thecenter of the pic enhanced the view nearly to a 3D. Well see, Robert. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Michael
