Really nice cloud. Just a bit of ground detail or whatever could make the image more appealing

Technically A1 but clouds on there own don't do it for me. Not sure how i would appoach this title. Its a tough one.

But wouldn't the clouds be puffy and soft? especially white clouds. Good job, Rod.

I think from memory it had too many USMs as the shot was a bit soft (still is a bit) & I would have pulled down the curves a little. I don't have a workflow & just do what I think the shot needs. Most of my shots would get a least 2 USMs of --100--.3--0 Then I normally pull the curves down a bit (I'm not used to using Levels) & then maybe some burning in & dodging if needed. If the shots still look a bit flat after these then I will give it about +8 contrast & - about 4 to 8 darken. Thanks Rich & all:-)

So this was almost a sunset? You have great clouds in your neck of the world. Well done. Any post processing?

Of course there's no BHs Dorys cos I blocked the sun out with a white sheet:-)

Good shot Rod, i was wondering who would come up with this one first. The soaring vocal of Great Gig In The Sky lends itself perfectly to this image. Well done.
Regards
