    Thanks, Danny! I only show the shots with the good clouds. For every shot with cool clouds, I have 10 with a bland sky. :D

    You've still managed to get a better ratio than myself. :D

    I have two different ratios, with a camera, I get about 1/10 good ones like Mahesh, without a camera available, I'm actually 15/10 (don't ask how that's mathematically possible, but it is).

    Agree with Danny - great colors in that sky.

    I have Ron beat when I do not have a camera deal.gif


    Love the colors in this shot!! The little bit of sky in the butte bugs me a little as does it being so central but it works at the same time. headscratch.gifne_nau.gifthumb.gif:D

    Thanks! I thought about cloning the bit of sky from the butte out, but it's such a well recognized hole in the mitten, that I decided to leave it in. As far as the central composition, that was intentional...for me, it works best as is. :D

    My wife only has 3 to 4 weeks off a year and I'm constantly hearing about how unfair it is. I politely nod and smile. mwink.gif

    lovely shot of West Mitten... those clouds turn what would otherwise be a rather bland silhouette into a very dramatic shot... i managed a handful of shots with some clouds when i was there, but by sundown they'd all burned off... :(

    where do you work that you get 10 weeks off? do you need an assistant? i'm unemployed, and would love the opportunity! ;)

    Thanks, Rocky! I work at Seattle Children's Hospital and they are very good to their employees. :D

    Between your vacation time and Joel (kdog)'s pool, I think I have the wrong job :D

    UPDATE: I take back what I said after hearing your wife is also your boss. It's bad enough having that be the case at home, but at work too? I don't think I could handle it!

    Hey man...I paid my dues through med school and residency. Those times equated to basically no vacation :D

    Yes, the boss everywhere, she is. The benefits can be nice, however. :D
