Evening storm Photo

Photographer’s Note

After driving for hours in the southern part of Portugal (Alentejo region) under heavy rain, right before sunset the clouds let the sun out for some minutes. I finally pulled over by the road side to take some shots of this amazing display of colors and light reflected in the menacing clouds not far from where I was standing.
I had to raise my arms up high with my camera and take a few pictures without seeing through the viewfinder, because of the 2 meters high grass in this farm field. After managing with the right composition, I had to run back to my car as the rain came back as strong has it was all day, turning all the scenery into dark grey.

Miguel, sua composição está excelente, e as cores um espetáculo - vocês as alterou via photoshop, ou apenas aumentou um pouco a saturação? Estão lindas.
As nuvens adicionam dramaticidade a foto. Uma pintura, parabéns.
Um abraço
Robert

Holy cow. What an amazing sky. It looks as if you might have used a filter of some sort, but I have to assume you didn't because of your lack of mention. Regardless, this is truly a special capture. Well done.
