Oh, if there was no trees... Looks like the skies are opening. Little saturation bump would make it more "dramatic" and eye catching. Nice approach to the challenge theme. Good luck :)
Aren't moments like this glorious? At first I wasn't sure I liked the composition, but I've decided I like the symmetry left to right. I might have tried to crop out the trees, though. I don't think they add anything. Also, some color adjustments might have made this 'pop' a bit more. 6
Good exposure to capture the rays and highlights in the cloud. The Sun is a treasure, we don't value it enough in our lives and thus take it for granted. We often forget that a picture tells a thousand words and place too much emphasis on technical ability. I personally would have zoomed in on the clouds and avoided the trees completely.
Not much of a hidden treasure here, and the foreground is distracting. Kind of a typical sun behind the clouds shot. OK, but nothing memorable or unique about it. 4. Sorry.
I think this would look a lot better if you cropped out the distracting bottom. The stop sign kind of kills the magic =[
But it's good enough for an 8 =]
