Hey Scott,

Man, this is cool. Was this the same storm clouds as the previous post? You zipped on down the road to get it with the yellow carpet? I sure like the contrast.

That pretty cool. The composition has a near-bilateral symmetry, but not quite, that helps give this a little more "edge". And what a great contrasting field of flowers (mustard?). The only thing I'd take a look at change is the darkness of the nearer cloud undersides. While the ones further back need to be dark, the closer ones seem to have just a little too much contrast. Might be worth a look.

Good one Scott!
The center under that cloud is very intense...

Very neat catch, I love the colors here, looks like a canola field.

While I like the composition and the colors I feel that the yellow flowers are lacking in detail, at least the front ones. Perhaps, with the wide angle lens (giving you good DOF) you could have focused on the flowers in front? I would think that the rest would be in reasonable focus, including the clouds.

Thank you all very much!

This is a canola field. It took several miles of gravel roads until I found a field suitable to shoot with.

Dalite, thank you. At the time I thought about focusing closer to the canola flowers but it was too windy and would require way too many exposures (focus stacking) to create this image. Also, the canola field is not the main subject so I didn't want it to distract from the storm cloud but rather provide a "base" for the image.

Beautiful photo Scott! I love the composition and color. I'm a bit curious about the 3 stop grad though. Was the foreground in shade?

Scott,

Since everything has been already said, I'll just say - lovely.

Thank you very much Ben. The top half of the storm cloud was very bright in relation to everything else. I used a 3 stop for 2 reasons to tame the brightness and to get the field to pop. The CPL helped as well. Also, with the 3 stop the sky gets a little more dramatic.
