Beautiful scenic, such an amazing look at nature. I adore the filler that fills the rest of the screen with the gradient. It all works very well. Thanks for sharing Dean:-)

Gorgeous scene, look at those colors !

I agree. A phenomenal shot. Nice job.

Looks like it was shaping up to be a ferocious storm

i just found out that 2 people got struck by lightning in this storm yesterday!

Awesome image, just simply awesome...

pretty cool. no the lightning part. wow. i once saw something similar to this. it looked alot higher up and it was stretching from the north to the east. it looked like the edge of some huge storm on jupiter. i wish i had my camera then.

WoW! What wonderful shot, i'm loving it. Good Job

Brilliant stuff. Perfect, all in all. I love how you did the borders, and I'm not even a dedicated border fan... ;)

Awesome. Favs!

Wonderful dramatic shot, made more so by the very wide angle.

Stunning work, high marks from me.

Cheers.....

What a great and dramatic shot ! Excellent job.

Great panoramic shot...love the shades of blue

I've got a snapshot of one of these rolling across the sky like a rope. Oddest feeling I've ever got from the sky, it just screams power. Beautiful panorama of both the 'thing' and the view beneath. I llove the changes in the composition from the sea over to the...is that bay or brackish water pond? The gradient's perfect.

AMAZING!!! Ditto underoos, Great panoramic shot! The blue is awesome is well, the framing perfect. Wow!

Bizarre!

thanks for all the comments :D

Just had to say...WOW!! Exciting and excellent capture!! Luv the background you picked as well. Superb overall comp & color control!!

Amazing Photo, but the blue background is distracting.

this is a most interesting shot. i didn't know what it was until i read your description. then i decided that i love it.

wow, that is crazy. absolutely amazing capture...but to me the blue background is distracting..maybe something darker would be better. great work though! ~abby

wonderlisticly awesomating!

I'm glad to see this one got at least near what it deserved in the c-index (although 85 to 90 would be more accurate). I love weather photos and this one is definitely one for my desktop. You won't mind if I change the wide blue borders to black will you though, to allow those nasty clouds a little more punch? Thanks for submitting this one for the rest of us.
