Amazing angle of the clouds, did you rotate only the clouds? anyways, very good one,
I love the colors and the rays of light are great!
very good edit with the right contrast and emphasizing the lines perfectly.

I think I recall rotating the whole image, clouds included, so that the horizon was straight. It has been a while though so I might be mistaken. Thanks again for the

Thanks, after seeing your post I get the feeling your are a fan of very dramatic skyscapes. So many of them are so similar and at the same time so different. Thanks.

colours are greatly exagerated here with the good ol' saturation slider. I just wish the hot air ballon wasn't in there. As =escape-is-at-hand put it, it looks like dust.

Awesome sky. But it that dust on your sensor? There's a black splotch in the middle. Try cloning that out in Photoshop

I should've mentioned that spot because I'm sure you'll not be the only one to point it out. It's actually a hot air ballon in the distance.
