This shot was from the same day of my other post after the rain. It was a good cloud day.

A superb framing adds to the feeling of the wide and wild space!

I've been looking at your morning sunrise shots; they are very impressive. what time did you go out for those?

@Kelvin Chan: I park the car about 6:30 am and find a spot to set up. I am lucky that Valley Forge Park is real close to me and it has long unobstructed fields. I usually have between 6:45 and 7-7:15 to get anything good taken. It has been raining the last 3 or 4 mornings, so I haven't had a chance to get anything good. As spring approaches, I'm sure the times will start getting earlier.

Nice sky. I'd crop some off the top.

Crackin' shot Sean. For me, I like the expanse of blue at the top. It gives another layer to the scene, and that dark blue is worth it. Excellent work.

Wow Sean! I love it. PLEASE tell me, to give me a tip or 2... 1) do you use a gradual blue density filter on these type of shots 2) do you post produce some of those colors by layering the sky and deepening the blue?

You in my top favorite 3 if not top favorite photoblog, and its all about your rich colors. Give me a pointer or two to achieve this better, so I can leanrn a bit! Share it here so more of us can find out how to do this! Thanks! Sheldon
