Great sky! Fabulous blue color. Personally, I wonder how this would look if the tree on the left were cropped out and it wasn't so black at the very bottom.

Nice. The blue and clouds are very effective.

Cool wide perspective, but the elements in the photograph are a bit distant. A strong close element in the front would benefit the scene here.

Might have been very interesting blown up. But can't tell with this size. Pity.

Wow...the sky is outrageous! Nice contrast to the land, the darkened edges emphasize that further...a great job! Good luck.

I love the low lying clouds and the ankle of the shot, but not the shadowed edges.

Line of clouds is nice, sky is *way* blue (makes it look very cold) but the "country" part of the scene is kind of lost due to being overwhelmed by the sky. Then again, the sky can indeed be overwhelming in the country.

I think you may have gone a little overboard in your post...

I like the overdone saturation of the sky color. The perspective is cool. Wide angle lens? 8

I like this as the cloud formation and the blue sky really highlight the country scens.....
