Wow! Great sky. And beautiful play of earth colors and textures on the earth. Beautiful!

A sense of fall coming to the Canadian Prairies captured in your image with the gray clouds overlaying the fallow field. The colors of gray and brown work to complement each other especially when set against a black background.

I like the compositional emphasis on the great sky. The rows and the clouds seem to be pointing to an area of sunlit field that could be highlighted to provide a foreground area for the eye to rest.

Very nice composition -- emptiness but with lovely textures and colours.
Congratulations on dealing with the exposure of the sky -- no burnt areas in the clouds (which are all too common in this type of shot) and a wealth of colour and detail

Very well done. I like how the heavy, roiling sky plays against the illuminated field and treeline.

Excellent composition. I wish the field was furrowed for graphic and leading line purposes. If close to home maybe keep an eye on it and of course the clouds will stay put.

Great use of cold and warm colours in the same photo. The clouds are just fantatic. Well done!

Nice, I have always been impressed by the storm cloud formations in the prairies. We get our share of anvil heads out east but it seems that the western ones are usually more impressive.

Lots of drama in those clouds, Linda. Both the clouds and the soil seem to lead the eye to converge on the horizon, looking in to the eye of the storm, almost.

Nice, but something`s missing to add to yet existing drama. It seems the field itself can`t match overwhelmig sky. (Maybe lost cyclist:-))

Great capture with lots of emotional impact. I would consider cropping off a bit from the bottom to emphasize the wonderful sky.

I spent some time in the Canadian Praries a few years ago and this scene allows me to touch and feel what I strived to find and sometimes found out there. Well done to get the viewer into your image with the senses open, ready to taste smell and feel the composition.

This works well for me, it opened me up, thank you for a trip back in time and 40 hours away by car.

Thank you!

WOW! Great sky--Great photo!

I know it's difficult to capture the feeling of what some cloud formations convey in person to a photo. You did a really good job of doing that here, though.

stark and foreboding come to mind-good eye-love the way the colors play on eachother here


Comments by Karen Habbestad on Mon, 08/27/07 18:22

great color and feeling of wide open spaces, and also the power of mother nature.

Nice going here. Great depth generated by comp.

Yep, that's the sky you need to shoot those types of non fields. They don't work so well with a blue sky. This is a great photo Linda. No highs with the storm sky and you were able to catch all the surrounding colors.
