Thanks for the comments! Almost nailed the score. Choice of contrast was partly intentional and the rest was achieved using a laptop display. I didn't know that 4 was such a common vote :-).
This could be my favorite kind of photography. Taken somewhere over Austria, during descent to Vienna. I've never seen anything like this before.
tvsometime, I have a couple of other shots in the sequence, but I have no idea how to make a 3D out of it.

That well-defined cloud shelf is fascinating - like a soft downy quilt being pulled back to reveal the pattern on the quilt below it. Giving it a six on a bump. I think your guess is low but not much. Predict 5.6.
An unusually regular and rare cloud formation from above - I'd love to see in 3D which could be possible if you captured another quick shot. As is, your prediction is probably close and I'll guess a 5.498 if the voters appreciate the rarety of the shot. 6 from me.
very interesting shot! how do you take a shot like this out of an a airplane, mine are always distorted from the window? this will score near your prdiction , a little higher at 5.6 Good Luck
At first, I breezed by this (pardon the pun) but upon further inspection have discovered much to enjoy. Would like to see slightly more solid blacks... but only maybe. If people don't stop to look longer, you might be correct with your assessment, but personally I voted higher. DPC average: 5.69
WOW that's something you don't see every day.
I like how you can see the clouds casting a shadow over the land.
I'm in higher than your guess.
Back to post my guess. 5.43
Hello, I voted a few days ago, now returning for comments. I think that you estimated your score a little high, I gave you a five but I predict that you will finish at 4,7485
5 As airplane shots go, this is not interesting except for the transition from snow cover to cloud cover. If the land portion were more fluidly or graphically appealing, then this type of image would, in my opinion, work better.
The Almighty can create some dramatic scenes - wow! Glad you were there to capture this. The hard line of the cloud diagonal lends to the strength of the image. Personally, I would have cropped off more of the top - but that is, of course, a personal choice. Looks good in B&W. Hope you will share a color version after the challenge. It deserves better than your guess.
