    Hi Morkel.

    I love the 'dynamic' clouds you have captured here.. very nice, and the composition is strong also (as i would expect from you) with the rock anchor and the little lead off to the left. I am not viewing this on my usual screen, just a rubbishy little laptop and while the image seems a little dark to me I am tending to think its the laptop... It is a pity that the foreground does not have the sun on it same as the slope to the left...

    thanks for showing

    Hi Morkel - I really like this one. The placement of the rocks in the fg is perfect and you have extracted great detail in the clouds. Nicely done.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I like the cold look to the sky and the well composed FG and MG Morkel. One of your best to date in this forum.

    Wonderfully crafted image Morkel with the placement of the elements in the frame and the detail captured in the sky.
