Love the foreground detail and the horizon's lighting. One of my top choices.

Great example of local contrasts in weather conditions.

Right place at the right time. For me the composition is the best element of this photo. Color's good. Contrast is good. Focus is good. But wow, what a composition! Well done.

Very dramatic shot. I love the balance between the stormy sky and somewhat bleak looking landscape.

feels real, would have like a little more detail in the land. Awesome clouds.

Awesome capture. the clouds look very menacing and are about to pour "meg-rain" :) 6

Very strong indeed - reminds me of Simon Norfolk, who is a genius (so that's a high compliment indeed). I would love the foreground t have been pulled up a little, just to reveal some more detail in those buildings (and I don't mean throwing the dodge and burn at it indiscriminately). The tonality and light in the sky is wonderfully caught, and it remain purely photographic; very high standard.

Good shot. I'm a sucker for good clouds. Good luck!

Great detail in the clouds and a very fine exposure deflect the spotlight away from what would probably be a rather pedestrian foreground. Well done on directing the attention of the viewer so deftly. 7

I almost clicked right by this photograph but then noticed how amazing it is. It has subtle beauty, a lovely capture.

Very intereting sky, very complex. I like the contrast of the sun and the dark clouds. Buildings could have been a bit lighter; I don't think it would have been detrimental to the mood of the picture. 7

good composition with focus on the stormy sky; I like the dark and almost silhouetted foreground..
