Photographer’s Note
Another shot from Paraguay (hope you like this one Cesar), it is such a great country for photography.
I am using Picasa to post edit my photos. It is a simple software program as I don't understand all the features of Photoshop yet. It is always tempting to overdo the saturation option which I think I have done here. It has made the storm look a little stormier, but has also given the bricks a brightness that is unnatural. Just after a few opinions.
Is there a way for me to post the original so you can look at it?? (sorry I'm new)
I appreciate all the critiques I have been getting so far. I am a beginner ready to learn.
Anyway, the photo is taken in the Cerro Corá National Park. It had been sunny all day until the bus dropped me at the park entrance and as was usual for me in Paraguay, as soon as I got off the bus the heavens opened. It was a 2 km walk to the guard complex in torrential rain. This photo was taken a few hours later as the original storm had finished and a new one was on the way.

HI Mark
nice posting again, the cloudy sky was tuning dark showing very clearly its intentions...
storms are strong in Py, usually electrical storms...we have a high keraunic level, that means a high percentage of the rain events come with electrical activity...
Cerro Cora National Park and the bust is Mariscal Francisco Solano Lopez, an important man in paraguayan history...he has detractors and people who think he was great.
very typical scene of the countryside, the bushes...green everywhere, very well captured.
Sorry for being so late checking this, and many thanks for your interest in my country!
K.
