Some crazy weather from Kahurangi National Park, New Zealand. We enjoyed the sun for a while and got a snowstorm 15min after I took this picture.

Great shot. Reminds me of a trip in Spain, where we could see the thunderstorms pass in the low lands around the mountaintop we were camping on - but in contrast to you, we were not hit by any rain or snow.

In your photograph, I particularly like the green - blue contrast between the two frame halves due to the "different weather" on either side of the mountain. Also the streaky rain pattern by itself if visually very attractive. A cool shot.

Dramatic storm light Andrius, very well captured. The layered composition is really nice. Excellent work.

You captured a great sense of place, wild and beautiful country.

Well done!

A real beauty, especially the large version. I love the texture of the greens against the rock. Well done.

Striking and dramatic Andrius! Love the light and shadows and of course the ominous weather.

The balance of light here make every element hold its ground and draw the viewer in. The more I look, the more I see. This is very well composed and processed.

Fantastic range of light and conditions. The muted greens, blues and brown are beautiful.
