i'm starting to realise that ppl just dont like gum trees ... i've just had a look thru a few pages of the silhouette challenge so i'd be able to comment on this one and i must say you had some really stiff competition ... but i still reckon this should have done a lot better ... i really like the weird angle of the tree against the horizon and those beautiful clouds ...

For future reference, it's spelled cumulonimbus and those clouds are not cumulonimbae.

I've always thought it was 'Cumulo-Nimbus' - which these clouds are not. Try Google with your spelling and you might be in for a surprise! (Maybe you meant it to be spelled like that?)

The colors are nice and the photo is technically correct, but I cannot clearly identify the subject (the clouds? the silhouettes?).

I feel like the clouds are distracting.

The silhouette effect is good here but the composition lets it down, unfortunately I can't see a focal point... in other words, I can't easily tell what this photo is of.
