[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a shot looking behind me, 180 degrees away from the shot I took yesterday. The sun was shooting under the clouds to make the sky just amazing. We are expecting a little rain everyday, breaking up this drought we have had here. However, the Texas Hill Country is dry as a bone, fires, lakes drying up. We need rain ALL OVER.....sadly the only thing that will make that happen is a hurricane, or tropical storm!
Have a great day!
Linda

Hi Linda

I like the subtle nuances in tones & colours in this superb 'big sky' shot. Excellent sharpness & smart choice of a vertical frame. Tfs!

Hi Linda,

The sky is awesome and has a great 3D effect to it imo it looks as if it is a painting your use of the available light is fantastic and the dark fg adds to the overall feeling of suspension well done.

Regards
Jon

Ciao Linda, you are under me today:), great composition fascinating sky and fantastic colors, wonderful atmosphere, very well done, ciao Silvio

Wonderful colours and light, may be a little too dark (an other version in WS). Really very impressive sky !
Best regards
Jean

Another great storm shot Linda! I like the vertical frame here. Nice blues in this photo too. The blues plus the warmth of the sun setting give the photo a peaceful calm. Greens are deep and rich. Nice composition. :) Lisa

hello linda

magnifique luminositée rendue là, juste avant une tempête
les couleurs sont merveilleuse et le ciel est super menacant
j'aime l'atmosphère qui y règne, explosera ou n'explosera pas
d'un coté le ciel est encore un peu bleu et de l'autre es nuages noirs nous disent que cela va exploser
belle image

Hi Linds,
A fabulous sunset with a storm approaching!
Great color cast in the sky with a variety of warmness!
Nice greenery in the dark landscape although visible enough to admire.
Great shot well presented in the vertical format.
Well done,

Francis Xavier

hi linda, cool skies again, good vertical format, i think in my opinion the foreground a little to dark, a n/grad filter would solve that problem, still another wonderful sky shot, hope all is well and i will pray for rain for you guys, as mentioned before you can have our rain-i wouldn't mind-hahaha,
tfs,
scott

Hi Linda,
I hope that all Texan bones have drunk, now! :)
Amazing drama in this sky!
The orange light on the clouds makes a good contrast and ray of hope!
My compliments! Annie

Hi Linda,
Great sky again. Like here the portrait presentation. Great low light,making the colours look so natural. Superb composition showing a wonderful land- and cloud scape!
