For unreal Tornado pics

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

I can't believe this guys' tornado pics. It looks like something from underwater these cloud formations. Please check them out and let me know what you think. I'm humbled and blown away by what nature can produce in its most turbulent.

Dave - I really admire this guys pics. I have just watched a program on Hallmark called Category 6: Day of Destruction where Randy Quaid is a tornado chaser so your post was very apt. :D

Beautiful, beautiful images here!

It's an interesting way to spell Tornado...(tonado??). There is actually only one visible tornado in the pics, and that is the third one down on the left hand side! The other pics are mainly the base structure of the clouds on what could be supercells (storms most likely to produce tornados). They are absolutely brilliant all the same, and I love looking at stuff like this - especially from America (Are these from America??), as they have the BEST cloud structure. I would LOVE to see stuff like this and of course photograph it, but highly unlikely to see anything as crisp and well structured here in Australia :cry:

Thanks for posting, Dooda. Mother Nature can be breath taking at times! (Now I'm going back for another look!)

I actually scrolled through his other pics...and...they aren't quite as good. I was hoping for some more of this. Generally with pictures like this there is some background captions of something. This fellow left no information. Still they are probably some of the most impressive cloud pics I've ever seen.

The fellow in that pic is trying to decide whether the approaching monster of a tornado is enough of a bother to stop gardening for a few moments. I strongly recommend putting away the tools and waiting this one out buddy. :lol:
