Budding thunderstorm

I'm looking straight up at the western edge of a budding thunderstorm. A few minutes later I hear thunder in the distance. Canon S500 study in contrasts from Gray to blue.

Neat picture! It conveys the grand scale and nature of the threatening-to-consume-the-sky cloud very well, and the colors look deep and ominous.

Thanks for the comment, Smithcon. I had reservations about this image after I had posted it. It is one of those images where there is not a good reference frame for knowing how you are viewing it. It works best for me if I remind myself that I am looking directly overhead, at the bottom of this cloud.

Nice shot ! I dont see these very often in Tokyo. Thanks for sharing :-)

You've really captured the drama in this one. It might have been nice to have something in the foreground though, to give it perspective. A plane would have been perfect, but I guess we can't choose our moments :)

Nice shot - I agree with the previous suggestion of a foreground object, to give it a scale of how huge it is. Good shot for a cloud library.
