I took this with my Fuji f10 handheld. I turned it to monochrome in Photoshop CS3 camera RAW ,cropped out a bright spot on top, cloned out some vegetation lower right, increased contrast and sharpened with Smart Sharpen.

Richard Pease	I love this cloudscape. The monochromatic scheme adds intensity and drama to the scene.

Dorinda Wills	I, too, like cloud shots.  I think you did well to convert this to BW.  I would like to see the middle tone clouds,  brightened just a bit more.
Fritz Grupe	The clouds are great. They have an excellent range in the shades of black, gray and white and there is interest in their patterns. I miss not having something specific to focus on, however.

Member Bio

Judy Merson - Biography I have taken pictures for years,but I have devoted my time to really learning to use my digital camera for the past year. I have learned that if I just point and shoot I do not get as good results as when I understand more about the camera and about composition and apply that understanding. I joined PSA to help me learn and better my photography. I enjoy the complete absorption I find when on a photo shoot and I enjoy learning to use Photoshop CS3 to properly "develop" my digital images.
