    Very pretty, with a fabulous composition. I like how the colors in the clouds match the color of the flowers. Sweet! thumb.gifclap.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    That is a perfect title for this picture. Tell me you did a little coloring on the clouds. It is neat though...the clouds and flowers compliment one another :D

    Thank you Mahesh, Eia.

    The clouds were very cool the color they were- The only bit I did to them was darken them up a smidge.

    Clouds tend to reflect the dominant color beneath them, and I suspect there were yellow wild flowers covering large areas of the background beneath the clouds, giving them this yellow color. Clouds are frequently pink over the desert, and somewhat green over cornfields.

    Very neat capture, Walter. Nice symmetry.

    Hey I learned something new here today! :D

    But yes the cloud colors here are just stunning. Count on Walter to show us all the great nuances of the Mojave thumb.gif

    Thank you PF. Certainly in front of me, although barely visible here, were large fields of desert gold. I drove in at night and went the opposite direction as I left, so I don't know what was going on over the hill where the sun was coming up. Might have been crazy.

    Thank you Schmoo- and my apology for the delayed response. Lst week was very strange, but on the good side, I found another nuance or two.
