Hi Henk.

Quite a dramatic shot, in which you have managed to include some typical outback features - the tree, the mountains behind, the red soil - as well as the extraordinary burst of rain. Some may not like the inclusion of the car, but I think it adds balance to the shot, and a bit of contrast. The colours are well saturated, without overdoing what many will not realise are the natural colours of the landscape in that area.
Regards,
Andrew

The scene is very dramatic, and colors and light are perfect. The car is a bit too clean for this scene !!!
It looks like a Toyota (maybe ?) advertisement !

Hello Henk, A very impressive & dramatic shot with a typical outback look about it. The Toyota looks remarkably clean & fits well in this image, colours are warm & the clarity is excellent. I like that cloud that is releasing some rain & still able to see some blue sky. Beautiful shot.
Regards
Santo
