In the far south Serengeti, Tanzania. If you let your imagination play, you might see the dragons, horns and spikes in the clouds which are floating over the kopjes and valleys. Or you might just see a cloud!

7D; 24-105 @ 24mm; ISO200; 1/160sec; f7.1 Late afternoon.

I saw the dragons right away...Composition wise, I think there is too much sky.

Thanks James. I like lots of sky but I know that it isn't to everyone's tastes. If I crop down from the top I risk having the horizon too centrally placed, and that's something I hate. Appreciate the comments. :S3:

Hilary - I see the dragons but also think that each time I look I see something slightly different (probably raised your view count a little). I really like the rays of sunlight coming down too. Nicely done. There are a few brighter spots where the sun seems to be hitting the bark of the trees in the lrc and in the middle. It might be worth toning them down a bit.

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks Rachel, I didn't see those lighter spots but will tone them down. Well seen.

I like this and I like the crop as is.

I too like the large sky look but would suggest a small crop from the top the better accentuate the clouds. Some very unique light in this image. Well done capturing the moment.
