[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Looks like power, right? This is the perfect shape of the average summer thunderstorm... a nice cumulonimbus with the classic anvil-like appearance. Inside of this cloud there are incredibly strong upwards winds that are dangerous to sailplanes for example. They reach speeds of upto 120km/h!! All in all there can be 1.000.000tons of water inside the cloud... Truely amazing!
Its beauty and the beast combined;)

Hi Andreas!
Thats my favourite clouds!
You have captured very well a lot of fine detail in the cloud.
The little weak point here is the FG, perhaps I`d like to see a little bit more there. Otherwise a fine picture with good color.

Best regards, Jon.

Hi Andreas,
Interesting composition with the thunderstorm clouds.The shape is beautiful.Agree with Jon, that a little more foreground would've been better.

Hallo Andreas!
Great, simply great! Like from a schoolbook. What an impressive view! I like this one very much!
It's good to have a roof-light, isn't it!? ;-)

Hi Andreas. You are right, beautiful, big and scary. A lot of raw power in the cloud. Perfect for me, I don't think you need anything else in the picture, it would just distract viewer from main subject.
Good note.
Greetings
Chris
