Beautiful scene, Sandy. The interesting clouds in the sky certainly add lots to the impressiveness of this image. I like the rock formations in the foreground, some of which certainly have human form likenesses. To me it looks like a gathering of persons watching the fascinating display in the sky.

Buddha is cool and the clouds are great. I wouldn't call this sensual or sensuous, but I'll bet that each of us has a different personal definition of those words.

This is a beautiful sky. Transcendent even. Buddha is not sensuous, but he is not supposed to be. On the other hand, I believe the flowing clouds are sensual. Maybe you have a debate on your hands. On taking a second look, the clouds seem to form a human torso with arms upraised. A representation of God?
