Mighty cloud Photo

Photographer’s Note

When I saw this impressive white cloud laid on the Connemara Mountains, I couldn't help myself to take a shot.
The picture was taken from a beach near the village of Gowlaun.
The use of a polarizer was very helpful here to set the exposure. I strongly recommend it for those who have the same type of camera as mine.

Thanks for looking,

Damien.

Lovely capture! Great composition, and nice use of space :) Beautiful reflections in the sand.

Hi Damien!
What could better show the volatility of the beatuties that nature offers to us than a cloud. And what could better show the durability of the beauties that nature offers to us than rocks and mountains...

Your picture perfectly reflects this fascinating duality. And moreover it is, from a technical point of view, well done. The only regret I have is that the rock is a bit too centered and therefore takes too much place; it also hides part of the mountain. Some steps to the right or left could have been useful.

Regards
Heaven

I like this shot alot; I think it is abit underexposed, thus the colors are muted and the whites are not very bright; this is just my opinion though. I do like your framing, it promotes many natural element here nicely.
thanks,
michael

Hi Damine,
Another great shot. Amazing cloud. It's a nice contrast with the intense blue of the sky. I hope to visit this place sometime.
Thanks for sharing!
