Thank you to each of you who entered. I've gone back and forth, up and down, around and around on who gets the win tonight. In the end I kept coming back to the same shot.

Mark, that cloud is massive! Your focus is clear, the colors are true. I have fond memories of driving through miles of cornfields in the summer with storms on the horizon.

Ed, you found the perfect title for this. I can only imagine how the atmosphere felt. Great capture of an incoming storm.

Benitoite, wow. Those colors are intense and the wave action of the clouds is cool.

darkslinger, clouds in the sky and clouds in the water. Gorgeous.

Don, at first the colors grabs and then I said, but look at those clouds! Beautiful.

All are worthy winners but as I said I keep coming back to one shot. Mark gets it this week, with darkslinger close behind.

Thanks again for playing. :-D
