Beautiful image! Love the dramatic sky and the mushroom look to the cloud. Excellent conversion, too. That wind was howling! Love this one.

Amazing drama captured here, Gary. The mushroom shaped clouds look positively nuclear. Awesome image.

This is simply spectacular, Gary. The slant of the rain coming up to the precipice gives the viewer a hint of the howling wind you experienced. Love the contrast between the drama and power of the clouds and the quiet and calm of the sky far in the background on the left hand side. A stunning, masterful image, print worthy without a doubt (and book worthy too). The large image is a joy to view.

Make a few images, well.

This really does look like a bomb blast, The contrast between the sharpely edged canyon and the more fluid clouds adds to the drama. A really fine image.

Wonderfully strong image. The monochrome does a great job portraying the beauty and power of the storm.

I like that place and like this image, Gary. Great BW work, real and not over the top.

Gary: Oh this is fine! Spectacular conditions superbly captured and rendered. The color junkie in me would like to see the original but this is powerful. Makes me envy your opportunity.>=))>

Wow, Gary - a very powerful image. It's a nice choice to frame high for the atmosphere against the rest. The landscape is the appetizer, but the stormy sky really makes for top billing. Excellent work

A fine look at a nasty storm, with excellent details in the land below the storm. This does a fine job of capturing the sense of a big storm rolling across open spaces. I especially like how the rain is thin enough so that some of the cloud details behind the rain show through.
