thank you very much for your critical analysis. i appreciate the time you took. to me the light was on the white subject, however, the submission explanation asked for a white background. thanks again.
A black and white image of a cloudy sky that shows texture and contrast in light and darks.
Your commenters have spoken to the idea of fitting the challenge. I won't say more on that except to say that in the challenges here it is a huge factor influencing voting.
The image strikes me as a good study in black and white. There is a great range of tonality. It appears you may have used a polarizing filter to achieve an almost black sky which enhances the ephemeral nature of the clouds.
The composition has a sense of diagonals because of the light direction and placement of the subject. This provides a bit of interest and energy to a rather mundane subject.
Technically, I can see striations on the most solid of the cloud formations. It appears that although you have 640 pixels on the longest side of your image, the file size is about half of what it could be. These noisy artifacts detract from the purity of the image you're trying to present.
Overall the image appears to be a fine study of a common subject.
Keep shooting!

Missing a white background. Very easy shot that anybody can do. Not much originality. Normally I throw in some suggestions to improve the shot, but this one I can't...sorry
The background is supposed to be white, so to me this does not meet the challenge. I am not sure how you got the clouds lit and the sky so black. It does make for good contrast.
