It's a wonderfully simple photograph with lovely shades of blues and magnificent whites at the peaks of the clouds.

My biggest criticism of this piece of work is that fact that right in the very heart of the photograph, there is a big ugly DeviantArt logo - just sat there chilling.

It's a very relaxing photograph to look at - and I do think this may have been the inspiration for this photograph. I think it's missing a few elements to really make this image, pop. What they are, I can not say - I just feel it's missing something

Is it something you haven’t seen before in its particular genre? Does it surprise you?
Being perfectly and brutally honest - No - I've seen this style of photograph a thousand times before. BUT I really love the image anyway - I find it refreshing to see a beautiful picture of the sky that isn't done in HDR with insane amounts of contrast. As I said earlier, the colours are simply beautiful!

Does the artist exhibit advanced knowledge of the medium and/or bring special focus to the craft of the medium used.
I honestly feel this photograph was skilfully created, you have managed to capture the sky beautifully. The highlights and shadows of the clouds are magnificent.

Does it make you think? Does it blow your mind?
I've given this 4 and a half stars because it does have a very good impact. If the DA watermark wasn't there, I could look at this for hours, I'd even think of offering this as a computer background - I know I'd use it anyway.

I'd possibly consider creating your own watermark and adding it to one of the corners instead of using DA's default one which detracts a lot from your work.
