a dry summer...

Awesome image, love the scale of it and the size of that cloud.

Fantastic Pano Tony!!

rain needed…. great panoramic shot Tony – I love the contrast of colours with the brown grasses and blue sky – and the hope in the clouds :)

Stunning image, well done.

Nice work!! Its the same where i live, everything thats usually luscious, is dried up and desperately in need of rain..

Ditto over here in the west… Nice capture Tony – the sky is a beautiful colour!

Stunning scene – great clouds and the road provides an excellent lead in.

Stunning, love the scale of thisand the clouds are so sharp.

gorgeous place, great composition, well done Tony!

Gorgeous panorama shot!

Beautiful panorama shot.

I’m sure the dry is most prevalent right across the southern half of the country at the moment as the seasons peak…a new season dawning with new hope (I hope) lol

Thanks everyone for your interest and comments – I won’t reply to you individually unless it’s a pertinate point or query as I rather not fill this up with my own comments and views.Instead I’ll endeavour to browse your own portfolios as time permits – thanks again ! :)

I just uploaded a larger version…
so here it is with a mounted background..

I really like the contrasting colour and the wonderful cloud formation. Also like the wide format, with the black mount. This is a very pleasing image :-)

Fabulous as always Tone,love that anvil.

This is absolutely perfect Tony. The road works so well in leading you through the shot. Well done.

amazing expanse…..such a very “australian” landscape….with the hot and dry….
(definitely that way over here in the west!)
beautiful image, Tony!

Classic aussie pastoral landscape, good one.

I love how my eye is drawn along the road into the distance.
Wow what a beautiful cloud formation.
Keep up the fine work!

thanks once again everyone for your wonderful comments :)

Wonderful Aussie summer landscape Tony. Love that cloud formation! Bring on the rains : )

great landscape photo and color

That is Awesome!

Absolutely spectacular Tony!!

The parched landscaped, again teased by the laden storm clouds…
Love those cloud formations, Tony

Another excellent weather image Tony. Such rich color!

yes terrific contrast.

Astounding!!! it is so hard to keep cloud detail in landscape images like this. You have managed a great exposure keeping the hot spots to a minimum. Again panoramic is the right medium for the photo. love the way the road leads you toward the cloud mass.

As already stated this is a very pleasant landscape, love it. The hot spots don’t look that bad being clouds! Nice depth and composition, really leads you in..,try a few test scans at different sizes/res & colour profiles, maybe you can improve any area you think needs it – you can always chuck them out! ~ Truly great photographers have the biggest wastepaper baskets! ~
