Well controlled highlights control and enough shadow detail to provide both contrast and a bit of mystery. Liking the blues' contribution. Well held too for 1/20th - looks good.

Very cinematic. Nice work.

Beautiful shot Todd, love the play of light and dark in this!

one reason to own a camera, fantastic sky

That sky is on fire!

Lovely Tak rendering of a grand sky and the built foreground. Probably dictated in part by the areal extent of the cloud display, but I like being closer to the houses compared to the late January display.

That is some sky!

Yeah, but it's the sky you're showing us - and it's always different. I reckon a drink on the balcony each evening about this time would be a good habit to develop.

Terrific! Love the little curls.

Wow that sun really takes it's toll (my step-mother in LA looked very similar and had a big enough personality to look beyond the deep wrinkles).
