Buttery Clouds
Thanks to everyone who looked at or commented on my clouds images. This is the last one that I think is good enough to post. I really like it and saved it till last. I used the Lightroom preset I bought which added contrast and made the sky aqua instead of a purple-blue, and then I added either split-toning or a filter to add the warmth to the clouds.
I like what you did with the sky and the clouds. I like it a lot. The trees silhouetted against the sky and the dark clouds in the upper corners highlight the sky. The curved line of clouds is a big plus. Very nice.
Thanks Dennis! I also loved the arrangement of the clouds in this one. I wish I lived on a lake or someplace that's not surrounded by trees. I have no view at all to the west, these were all looking east.
Hi, Judy, I live in the woods so my sunsets are bracketed with treetops. My eastern exposure doesn't even allow me to see sunrise. I like this image a lot with the more subtle colors and the contrasting trees.

Good composition and processing with a glow coming behind that center silhouetted tree. I also like the sharp details in that tree. And of course, the cloud pattern and aqua sky. I would consider making those upper dark corners less conspicuous. To me they put a lid on the sky, instead of letting one's eyes rise up and beyond.
Very painterly. The strongly backlit trees contribute to a 3D effect.
