Image critique: simply stunning. A great take on the challenge and absolutely bang-on. Hope it wins a ribbon. These clouds are wonderfult o behold and you've chosen the composition well. Good light, texture and detail.

nice arcs created by the clouds - one more cloud arc would have put this over the top

The blue is too intence, select color on black and fix the blue to gray or black and you got my higher vote.

I'm missing the implied lines in this one....
Olympus C-8080

Great photo, but where are the lines? Also, your overall exposure is too dark. It's fine to have an extreme amount of contrast, but consider studying Ansel Adams' Zone System to better understand why this photo feels "crushed."
