[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I saw this long elongated thunderhead from the time I had left The Dalles and just before I took this image there was a perfect Anvil shape to the rear of the cloud, but it had just broke up when I stopped at this intersection. As you can see, from rain comes the Oregon Gold of the wheat crop, for as far as you can see in any direction.
Have a great weekend...
Steve

You've really nailed this shot. Beautiful clarity is complemented by vibrant colours. The soft texture of the clouds provides a nice contrast with the detail in the wheat.

Hi steve

Wonderful color contrasts between the golden ripening grain & the blue sky. The white thundercloud adds more dynamism to the shot. Have a nice weekend!

Hi Steve,you nailed this one for sure,great capture of the colors of these wheat fields.I know you thought about where the best POV would be, so as to best capture those formations of clouds & where their shadow would fall in the composition. & I like how it breaks the image into 3 parts,foreground, middle & background.Your image shows the immensity of the fields,I can see where the saying "America's Bread Basket" came from.
