I don't remember Lawton Oklahoma being this beautiful. I did my basic training at Fort Sill and all I remember is the dust, the tornados, and being yelled at by a drill sargent....amazing picture

Lovely photo - slight problem with horizon as sky burnt in and over the horizon making the smoke drifting stand out too much

terrific showing! congrats on the red ribbon, it's deserved!

Oh wow! This is gorgeous! No doubt you deserved a ribbon with this!!! It's so ethereal... are you sure you didn't go to Africa or someplace more exotic for this shot? *grin*

Beautiful shot! I was stationed there for Artillery School in 1980 and you've captured the landscape wonderfully.

I hate to spoil the party here (which I probably won't), but I think you're mighty lucky that this is no. 2 or even in the top 20! While a nice scene this is transparently over processed to the point of confusion. There really is a massive imbalance in the sky related to the ground so that they look divorced from each other.

Awesome! I'm from Altus originally and live in OKC now. Great photo, makes me kinda homesick.

Too bad for that "smoke" in the left part of the image. Excellent job of dodging and burning.

dramatic lighting. I guess you've spent many time retouching this image. good burning in the clouds
Post actions
This reminds of an image straight out of Lord of The Rings... there is so much going on this shot... between the clouds, the break in the clouds and the smoke below... very nice.
Post actions
holy crap! that beautiful
Post actions

Post actions
Magical and ominous at the same time. This grabs me on an emotional level.

Looks like straight outta the LOTR, where is Gollum?

So far my only '10' vote.... very dramatic
Post actions
This is a good idea, with good composition but the clouds give a mood that is a bit dark, and the rocks and tree seem a bit soft. The light on the horizon is perfect, both in color and placement.
Post actions
Hard to find anything to criticize. You have a very interesting foreground from left to right with a nice range of colors. The sky is breathtaking and just seals the deal. Wonderful photo!
