"Clouds may come, but clouds must go, and they all have a silver lining. For behind each cloud you know, the sun, or moon, is shining..." . . . Taken at Lake Pukaki, Mackenzie District, New Zealand with Canon 450D. Thanks for viewing, comments always appreciated. I see the thumbnail looks very dark - not quite so bad full size :)

In this image you have captured the mood of the sky very well. The water still looks calm but the clouds are gathering fast! Beautiful!

And you said you hadn't mastered the Canon 450D! This is absolutely wonderful Lyn. It is so atmospheric and brooding and the colour is perfect. I hope I get this in VB. It's an 11 !!

I love the sheen on the water Lyn. It takes on the appearance of a frame. I love the dark posts and this is perfect. The clouds are really gathering as are the 10/10's this one deserves.

Superb shot. I like the green hue and the light reflects on the lake.
I believe the NZ is so fully of interesting natural and wild angles for photographic lovers.
I wonder whether I'll have a chance to visit your fantastic Country.

I am working on some projects for a drawing class I am taking and have focused on clouds this semester, so I have been doing quite a bit of research on different clouds and how the light plays on them and I have got to say this is the most majestic picture tat Ihave ever seen of clouds. And that isn't giving this work of art enough credit. THANK YOU for capturing this wonderful work of art!!!

Bruce just made me aware of this photo, and I love this. I'm so sorry I haven't commented for a while. This photo and this scene is for sure a work of art! Bravo!!! Verena
