Joli ciel David et bien en contraste avec les rochers anthracites. Les fins nuages garnissent agr閍blement ce ciel.

Superb. The clouds seem to be formed starting from the snow of the mountains, as if it evaporated. Splendid.

Great sky, and a good balance of heavy mountain and airy cloud, I think, the way you used that horizontal thirds rule here. Esp. with the similarity of the flowy clouds an lines of snow in the stones. Maybe there is something missing, but the technicals are really nice. :o)

Hi David:

Interesting shot. The clouds are beautiful, but in my mind they make a better background or complement than a subject. I think this could be a really nice panorama if a lot of the sky were cropped, and most of the clouds would still be there. I posted a workshop for you. Hope it's helpful. Everyone's preferences are different of course. The mountains are beautiful though, and the wispy clouds do complement the scattered snowfields of the mountains very well.

Clouds looks like the spirit going to heaven. The mountains and the crushed rocks all quite visible and great capture of this vast landscape. Rugged and sharp picture.
