Hi,
I took these photos at lake George today.
I looked almost like a scene from twister.

low flying clouds
great shots.. the first one would be my pick... just get that horizon straight though...

I definately like the first shot better than the second. Less distraction in the foreground and I love how the cloud funnels down.
But both just seem to be lacking some depth, not sure how to explain it properly (you can tell I'm a professional critic...) I spose you could say pop, but it's like a lack of contrast... Cheers Brett
Xerubus, I'm with you
thanks for the feedback.
Yes I agree with you, the image doesn't quite uumpfff enough. Regards CD
Great shots CD, the first one is more dramatic, but I kinda like #2 as well.
Maybe a bit of curve action would bring them up a bit, a contrast tweak. Whatever, they are very good cheers Greg - - - - D200 etc

Perhaps a tad too much on the dramatic side? Photoshopped with a graduated dark grey/blue to transparent layer with the majority of the layer solid dark grey/blue with transitioning to transparent at the horizon to transparent for the whole section of the landscape. Then changed the layer mode to soft light. Some minor tweaks with brightness/contrast on this adjustment layer then I made some curve changes to the original image layer.

What you have there is what is called a wall cloud. It’s caused by strong updrafts into a storm system, if you happened to notice the structure would have been rotating slowly??? If you look at your shot you can see signs of rotation. As for looking like Twister, this is the part of the storm from were tornados will form, if the updraft & rotation are enough & a few other elements a tornado is born 
Great shot mate 
On closer inspection, there are two structures in you first image, Great work!!!!! Cheers Ray  >> All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism<<

Just to confuse you a little more...I prefer the second image. I popped it into Photoshop and played around with it but it sort of works best the way it is. A fine, fragile landscape. Keep posting. Regards
