Looking through the previous Ansel Adams challenge - backwards from 60th place. I really like this one - would have been among the 7's or 8's, I think, maybe higher.

I love the shot. The colors of the sky are amazing. The boats in the foreground add that little extra detail, it tells a story. It's almost as if the boats are longing to get back in the water. Beautiful.

Nice cloud. Great depth in the cloud due to polorizer(or equavalent) filter. Good luck.

i really love the colors in this, but the distortion of the perspective bothers me.

Nice capture of the sky.

The nature of the HDR photos tend to give a surreal look. Unfortunately I think there is a discrepancy in that respect between the sky and the rest of the picture (ie. one part of the photo looks very surreal, but the rest looks unprocessed). It's hard to find that balance with HDR.

Also there is not a whole lot going on in the foreground, maybe a better subject as the main focus of the picture would have made things a bit more interesting.
