Sky, Sky, and Sky!

Mifflinville, PA

Rule Broken: NEVER Only shoot the sky or the ground, always have 1/3 of one, and 2/3 of the other!
Why Broken: Fascinating (to me anyway) cloud formation... while driving down a road... and I didn't want a truck or a road sign at the bottom of the image.

Works for me; cloud formations are actually among my favourite subjects. You never get the same thing twice! Well done Chris. -mcbit

Keep breaking the rules Chris. This is outstanding... understated but exceptional atmospheric arrangement. I like the black & white too. -tv

I've not heard that rule. I've only heard it in reference to if you are including sky and ground, that this would be the recommended proportions. If you've heard never to shoot just sky or just ground, then I'll take it at face value. If it is indeed a rule, I certainly agree with you on your reasoning for breaking it. Qualified! ~ Lonnit

Cool sky Chris! - when was this shot taken? If it's not shot during the challenge period, then it should be placed in Exhibition. - Kelly
