[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The photo was taken on the spot, so to speak. It was about to rain cats and dogs. But the colour of the clouds amazed me. They were so low and so menacing.

No changes made to the image: only resizing and sharpening a bit.

Hi Elena,
Cool image, there seems to me quite some drama in the image and in the sky. These kinds of moments and photos are rare, you were lucky to have been present at the right moment and spot.
Kind regards,

Hi Elena,
fantastic clouds formation, scary look of this heavy, dark cumulonimbus.
Well observed and done.
cheers

Hi Elena
Sorry for so long delay with the critique.
Impressive picture! Very good composition and exposition.
There is just one thing that is arguable. I mean the building in your picture. It is said not to upload pictures with man and man-made things. And I understand that.
But on the other hand without the building in your picture the viewer doesn't have possibility to see the scale of the cloud.
So I like your picture but I advise you to avoid man and buildings in the pictures at TrekNature
