I LOVE the dramatic atmosphere! Splendid shot.

Very nice. Maybe a tad fuzzy, but for that type of photo - it's perfect.

I feel this is overprocessed too, way too much burning.

I suspected heavy burning. Used to good effect. Would that count for the fire challenge? (haha stupid joke). Outstanding photo. Congrats.

the rays of light coming through the dark ominous clouds is great. Your choice of B&W works well here too.

My favorite of the challenge. Very dramatic photo and lots of good work in photoshop i guess. 10

Quite dramatic stuff with some nice touches. You've pushed the contrast quite hard though and the noise is more apparent. I would probably have cloned out every other detail in ths frame apart from just the tree.

A dramatic and striking landscape with a very brooding atmosphere conveyed by the clouds and light.

This looks like a scene from "Widard of OZ". You have captured three of thee lemens and would have had fire if only there were a lightning bolt. My best pick so far. 9

This totally reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. Great capture of the clouds and talk about a photo with mood. This one is great. I would actually prefer to see this zoomed in just a little bigger. I would chop a little off the right side and nix the border... You can barely see it anyway. Great job not withstanding. 9

are the sky rea?l (no photoshop) good job! top 3- 10pt

Nice sense of the texture of the earth. I also like the sun's rays breaking through the clouds (water). This picture works well in black and white.

This is very moody. Looks like a tornado is on the way or somehting. I love it!
Post actions
Very nice, but I don't agree with your title. The sky here is MUCH more dramatic than the earth... Great job of B/W
Post actions
Dramatic effect of the light shining on the tree, good luck.

Love the vastness of this photo with the lone tree and the light shining right down on it. What a great capture!

this is one of my top 5 pics for the challenge. Very nice. I love the beams of light filtering though the clouds. Did you use an infared filter?
Post actions
So intense. I was looking for the witch in the tornado. Great, rich b&w. Earth wind and water are all felt. 9

Very nice B&W. Great contrast and composition.

Do you know the feeling when you look at the picture and

Great timing. B&W works well here. Nice shot.

this reminds me of 1930's depression era south...a la "oh, brother where art thou"..really beautiful
Post actions
I love the surreal feeling of this photograph. It feels like God has opened the sky and is looking at this lone tree in the field. Those subtle sun beams really add a lot of strength to this image. I feel like I'm standing in this scene and the 'elements' are angry. Beautiful photo...
Post actions
Great energy in this...The Grapes of Rath..cool shot. My compliments.

Really like the sky, lone tree adds interest to the mid-ground. One of my favs
Post actions
Nicely observed. Simple yet effective.
Post actions
Was it a snapshot or did you have to wait for the light to fall on the tree?
Post actions
wow, amazingly dramatic sky. great job.
Post actions
This ominous feel is amazing. It's still a bit too dark for me, but great image! 8
