It's not for any competition. Just for a calendar that my club is making. Before I submitt I would like to hear your professional yet unbiased and candid critiques. Thank you all for seeing the page.

I'd lose the vignette. Otherwise it looks good. It's certainly better than some of the calendar pictures I've seen.

Its a beautiful skyscape. But shots like this without any context always leave me a bit lacking. Next time shoot wide enough to include the ground.

the sky is a little lacking. if you could milk some more orange or blue out of that sky this would be a much better picture.

I would try a 16X9 crop,I find the upper portion of the sky not adding to the overall photo?


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

I also find it lacking. Not really enough going on to hold interest.

Definitely play around with the blues and aquas to try and pull more out of the sky. Try adjusting the contrast and/or the clarity to get a little more detail from the clouds. Unless of course you want a softer look to them since they are clouds....
