Warren Wilson	very nice light. I esp love those clouds. I think I'd crop the bottom to take the horizon line out of direct center of frame.
Joe Kennedy	Quite an interesting sky! It’s almost as if the sky was on fire! Your horizon line appears almost dead center so you might consider a cropping off of some of the foreground. This would drop the tree line lower. Burning of the brighter blue sky to the right would tone down that distraction.
Barun Sinha	oomph. What a super super cloud formation and the trees in the foreground are all helping the composition. My only little concern is the rather dull sky near the horizon. A little bit of blue touch will help.

Meg Puente	Wow!  Very impressive!  Fabulous sky!  That forward rush of color really is stunning!  The inclusion of the ragged fence line is a great decision!  It creates a diagonal line that together with the diagonal movement of the clouds, the silhouetted trees and triangle of blue sky make for a very interesting and effective composition!
Debbie Garland	Like the triangle of the fence to the trees and then to the sky.  It's great.

I enjoy photographing the mountains, deserts, coastal regions,wildlife, wildflowers, historic buildings, and a little photojournalism.I have lived Colorado most of my life.I love to travel the western states to photograph. I use Canon gear, cameras are 5D and 40D, Canon L lens from 24mm through 400mm, Gitzo and Manfrotto tripods. I use Lightroom 2 with Niks plug ins and some elements 8. I'm always looking for ways to improve my images, through study, trial and error, and entering competitions. I belong to the Loveland Photographic Society and compete in the masters division. I'm looking forward to the groups feedback and learning from you all.
