that's a good way of describing it, I like it.

I love the contrasts here - the brightness of the sky as opposed to the darkness of the trees on one side. Even within the sky itself, the sky nearest to the camera is bright, whereas looking off into the distance the clouds are dark and heavy. Nice stuff.

The only criticism I'd make is that the pole and the tiny bits of branches we can just see to the right detract a little from the rest of the photo. I'm uncertain about those branches, though - there are plus points about having them in the photo, as they almost seem to be beckoning, which is quite a nice touch. Overall, though, I think it's still a little distracting.

Not that I could do any better, those are just my thoughts

I know, that light pole annoys me beyond all things....I wish I had more countryside (without people) to take pictures in.

You're preaching to the choir, my area is really difficult for photos, and it drives me nutty!

hmm. this is very nice. I quite like the contrasts of the sky. nice cropping and the title on the top is appealing.. only thing i would have changed is to take out the light pole on the right, its kinda distracting from this great skyline. But an awesome shot nonetheless

I really wish the light pole were gone, but I make do with what I have. I'll have to take a walk further out of campus this weekend, that would be nice.

nice description. Beautiful picture though I saw a better scene out of my window this monring. I suppose that has something to do with living in the prettiest country on earth

Probably. All I have to work with is the midwestern US.

I like it when weather systems are on the brink of changing.

Nice colors and a good angle. Interesting clouds at the sky. Good work, Liz.

thank you. I had to do a teeny crop because I was standing in a parking lot, and I didn't want the cars in the pic!

Nice composition, I like how you included the trees in the frame. The sky looks good and cloudy. It may have looked more dramatic during a sunset

Nicely done, keep it up...

thank you. I wish I could have waited until sunset to take the shot, but the clouds were moving in too fast....
