Comment by Matthew:
there are a couple of other cload shots in the challenge the b&w one does this better (I think) but yours is better than most of the others. Perhaps not quite dramatic enough here. Sky could grade faster to darker blue (increased contrast would help) and clouds do not seem to have a very white colour at thier whitest - a levels tweak would help that. Compositionally, a bit more cloud or a bit more sky (depending on which is more interesting) with possible adherence to the rule of thirds would improve the image, I think.

Lovely! I see the glory at the bottom, but the core does not look like an airplane profile. Where did you take this from? Just standing on a hill above a cloudbank? I have a shot taken from a paraglider in Big Sur Ca. I should post it. Pumping up the contrast and saturation would bring out the color in the halo, which I would love to see and in higher resolution! I think that would improove this shot over all too. Still high score in my book :)

Nice shot. The focus seems a bit soft and tends to make the picture look "washed out".
