Not saying i havent seen such striking light or color before, but with this comp i feel like im being choked by the cloud, its just too over-powering. Not sure if its the high saturation or just the tighter view here, just giving you my honest impression. Presumably you have some wider views and maybe those would work better.

I agree with Stan, I would prefer a wider view. I'd like to see some contrasting blue light above that glowing cloud.

exhilerating light. i find myself wanting form or structure to break it up a little.

Exellent light and your tele-comp works well to show off the grandeur of the scene.

I like the way the light plays on the cliff and saturates the cloud, but I too find myself wanting a wider view.

That's some marvelous light you've captured. I don't mind the comp at all.

Thanks for all your comments. I also tried to have a wider composition. But it was limited by other distracting elements outside of the frame.
