I love the light that emerges from under clouds like that. Gorgeous capture. Perhaps you could do a little more with the composition but I can't tell what...so good job!

This is gorgeous. I like how the sun is shining on the foreground, while other parts are shaded by the clouds. I might have cropped a bit of the sky out.

The shadows cast on the landscape here is the best part of this image. It's an interesting landscape to start with but the shadow stops it being too uniform

Great shot but no rain. Dang you for doing this because it is a great shot in the appropriate challenge. I would have given this a 7 otherwise.

Great shot! Although 'bad weather' doesn't constitute 'rain' I still have to give this huge points for vision. I would love to be standing there now.
