I know this photo looks over saturated, but I've checked with several friends and they also agree the level of orange is almost spot on (however, it could be the way my monitor renders it also.) It was so amazingly beautiful. I think this is also the first time that I may have overstepped the bounds of a color profile - as deep as the photo is it still doesn't seem as dynamic as the real deal.

A bit of background on the importance of this photo: I live in NC, where it hasn't rained in well over 3 months. Over the last 72 hours or so it's rained around 6-7", an incredible blessing indeed. It stopped raining earlier today, and these are the remainder of the clouds leaving town.

Enjoy!:thumb

C&C most welcome!

NOTE: On second look, it seems significantly darker (more orange) when saved to JPEG as opposed to what I see in photoshop - I have no idea why this is but I'll work on it.

    that is quite a view! With the cross in front, it certainly looks ominous.

    No need to defend the saturation - I think it looks great. I love dramatic skies and we have been having similar weather patterns up here. The sunset today was not nearly this pretty. thumb.gif

    This is from a screenshot with PS open. The colors here are closer to my intention (although I really like them both.) No idea why it didn't save right.ne_nau.gif
