Evening cloud

[Ben Egbert]

I saw this cloud while waiting for sunset and just had to capture it.

CC welcome.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

I would too Ben. And a nice scene to go with the cloud.

 

[JimFox]

That cloud was super cool and really amazing. You did a great job capturing it Ben.

 

[AlanLichty]

I'd certainly shoot it - nice capture. I like the sun angle and light for this scene.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Ditto all above comments. Sweet capture and processing.

Very nice, would you share the image’s location? As a Tennessee resident I’m often guessing where an image was taken out west.

Thanks Jameel

Thanks John. This is Skyline Overlook near Factory Butte and Hanksville Utah. I can supply a map if you need one.

 

[John Holbrook]

Thank you for sharing the location and this beautiful image you’ve captured and edited.

Here is a map

Thank you so much for posting the map Ben. I always appreciate the helpfulness and tips from Focalworld members.

Really nice Ben.. I love these great big vista shots with awesome clouds.. isn’t that we are always hoping for

 

[Douglas Sherman]

I love this one, Ben. It reminds me of famous Southwestern artist Maynard Dixon. He emphasized clouds in his work.

 

[Mike Lewis]

Magical as always Ben!

Wow, beautiful cloud Ben, well done in capturing it! If I might, since this looks like a crop, perhaps I can offer a suggestion - when I look at the cloud, I keep wishing the top of it were fully in the frame as well, and if you don't have it (i.e., that was the top of your original frame and you cropped the bottom out) then perhaps I might suggest trying and crop a little more of the cloud out, taking off the "hair" of it so to speak - something like "either fully in or deliberately out", hope that makes sense Just my .02, of course. Hope this helps! Best regards

Thanks Vieri, and thanks for the crop suggestion. This image in uncropped so I don't have the top of the cloud, but your suggestion to crop off the top is a good one.

 

[Beth]

wow! the butte and cloud are definitely photo worthy. very nicely done!

Hello Ben,

thank you for posting this - I am glad you found my suggestion useful. To me, this works better than the previous one, but of course it's up to you in the end - it's a gorgeous image either way Best regards,

Vieri
