[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
De camí cap a Barcelona, a l'alçadada de Sòria, més o menys, m'acompanyava aquest meravellós cel, i no vaig poder fer més que parar el cotxe a una àrea de servei i fer aquesta foto que espero us agradi.

Driving my car for Castilla, a part of Spain, I was all the time watching this superb sky, and at least I decided to stop the car and try to make this photo I hope you like it.

Reposted: passed to B&W to improve the dramatic effect in the sky.

What a landscape picture...
All that negative space in the sky creates the feeling of how big the frame is. The tonning is perfect, and the composition is brilliant!
I think the quality could be better, but it's hard to see in this size, this picture will be memrble hangig full size on a wall.

well done!

I understand your urge to pause to take this shot. A majestic sky like that would really leave us in awe. Your inclusion of that little house stressed the point of how we all are but a speck in this vast universe. Nice :)

This works very well in black and white Jordi and certainly is a dramatic sky. Eliminating the colors adds to the drama. In an ideal world it would be nice if that building on the horizon were not in the exact middle of the image, but that is a minor point. The details are fine and the treatment of the sky wonderful. Excellent work and certainly worthy of a smiley... ;-)

Outstanding picture. At what mm did you set your zoom ?

Great shot Jordi.
This sky looks terrific compared to the tiny house :-)
Like the composition
Great work
Cyril

cielo interesante, me gusto el horizonte reducido a una línea para demostrar las formaciones espléndidas de la nube.
El contraste está tan bien hecho.

great light... very good compo with the base at the bottom... the light in the sky is great...
i like it

Very beautiful composition, I like much the distribution of the sky between the clouds.
It gets clear many intensities and vibrations in this photograph.
congratulations
Pascal

strong composition and perfect choice of B&W
