Hi Olaf,
It's incredible view indeed. The cloud looks so large -- also thanks to your clever composition and good exposure. The contrast against the dark sky is perfect. Very well done.

Thanks,
Marek

Very nice composition with good POV. I like the colors and frame. It looks impressive. TFS

I'm really starting to like the effect of polarizers on the color of skies in pictures. This is a nice view and the cloud looks like it could form something out of an computer-animated action flick :P That must have been intense!

Thanks for sharing,

Jas

Serwus Olaf !
Piorunująca fotografia. Znakomicie uchwyciłeś potężne zjawisko, trójwymiarowo, na świetnych kontrastach. Przekaz wzmacniają dwa odległe punkty, gdzieś w siodle.
Zakładam, że turyści. Pięknie.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
M.

contrastele acestei forografii sunt fantastice - dintre cele mai bune vazutre vreodata! cerul e atat de sobru de inchis iar zapada straluceste totusi orbitor. minunat!
iar norul acela... o forma asa desavarsita! imi place mult!

Hi Olaf - OK the contrast and processing has made is a bit too surreal but it is still an awesome sight, excellent timing.

andante (7092) 2006-05-15 9:08

OLaf, great capture. I understand the feeling you're talking about, I've seen similar natural phenomena and they really get to you. About your image the composition says it all. You have a little noise on the background, try a Noise Reduction filter to eliminate it.

Bonjour Olaf,
Impressionnant nuage, joliment découpé dans ce ciel d'un bleu forcé.
Excellente capture.

Excellent shot Olaf! The fluffy white cloud against the deep blue background gives the shot a 3D feel.

Very simple yet attractive composition with a big fluffy cloud rising above the horizon, Olaf.
The colour of the deep blue sky is superb, and the addition of the white-red peak tower helps realise the scale.
Lovely,
Robi

uau!this is such a great photo!how did u make it!it's amasing!

jbweasle (9294) 2006-06-26 15:02

Hello Olaf, this is a remarkable picture. You have exposed well for the snow and cloud giving the sky a very dark hue. This increases the contrast while retaining detail. A dramatic shot.
