Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Pep...

This is a phenomenal shot... I love the ominous clouds and how they are put into perspective by the bridge in the distance... I can't really imagine improving this shot any. It 'speaks' quite well on its own. I can't really offer much critiqe here...

Great shot :)

This is a really cool shot. I'm surprised you didn't place higher.

A bit grainy but it's a powerful photo.

The clouds overwhelm the humble bridge of man's construction here. You have done a fine job.

wow, those clouds are SOO much bigger than the bridge! What a great representation of WEATHER! I like the brown tones too.

I think a little more of the bridge would be effective as I almost missed it the first time. I like the clouds, though. Very dramatic

I love the composition on this photo. It almost appears that the lower right half was sepia toned and then to color. Is there a hazy brown like this all the time. The clouds are very dramatic.

I was hoping someone would get a shot of the Golden Gate Bridge, and this is close enough, though I'm not sure which bridge this is: Bay Bridge, perhaps? Anyway, the contrasts and colors really make this work for me. Great drama in showing us puny humans what REAL power is with the beautiful bridge down there so small and so intricate. 10

Interesting Cloud cover. The colour is kind of muddied. I think it our look better if you cropped this one lower so you loose the top right corner.

very nice image, i like the cloud formation and its nicely foucused.

I would like to see more of the bridge. I think it would add dimension and relationship to the clouds. The clouds are quite spectactular!

Ominious cloud formation. Just distracted by the artifact and grain of the picture. Otherwise would be a very nice picture.

Nice lighting. Very dramatic. The bridge looks a bit lost, though.

Wow decent sky! Those clouds look wild. The image looks a little grainy at the top, but works okay here - 9.

Superb clouds. I would have liked to seen just a little more of the image in the foreground but I won\'t loose any sleep over it! Nice shot.

Very moody shot. Perhaps a _little_ dark but still very good indeed. Looks a little like a painting TBH, especially at the top! Good work 7.

Interesting tones. A bit noisy though.
