Big Sky

A large storm front was starting to form to the west and the clouds were doing so really neat things. This is a pano of four images shot from the Buffalo Creek Wildlife Management Area. Big sky over the open prairie. All comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

This is a nicely stitched pano and you have succeeded in conveying the feeling of space. The clouds have lovely definition, did you use a polariser or was this done in post-processing?

Tony, I did use a polarizer. I did do a little burning and dodging on the different parts of the sky to even out the effects of the polarizer. Thanks for looking .

This is niece, Richard. Lots of drama in the sky. The textures are great.

Richard, love the big sky! Have you tried a B&W version? I think this would make a good B&W as well.
