Love cloud formations! The rugged mountains don't hurt this image either :)

You have such a superb collection of fabulous images from this location! The clouds have a life of their own and you portray that beautifully.

Awesome when clouds upstage such iconic and glorious mountain range.

So cool how this cloud literally dwarfs the mountains. Size is relative indeed!

Fantastic capture, with clouds almost as rugged as the mountains below them. The pink pastels in the clouds are a treat!
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

Must have been quite the scene to witness. Great capture, really portrays the sense of scale.

The student whispers to the master...
I would loose some magenta and density, "twist" it slightly clockwise and crop the water out (plenty going on already without the water)
Then again, as is, it contains more drama than anything I have ever produced.
Thanks for all your work and images.
