Great series, Olaf, love all three of them. Dramatic mood here. -Gerald

Again, thanks to all who took the time to comment! This is rendered very close to how I saw it - I didn't do much to this after developing the RAW-file, except for de-fishing, which was done using a shareware called Pano-tools. Yes, that sky was something else! - and the drama of it was, and still is, the main subject here. It was amazing to see the clouds develop and drop, weighed down by their moisture. The speed of the changes was also amazing - and it didn't last many minutes before I had to run for shelter! PS. I had put a white frame around this to separate the image more from the dark grey background, but have now removed it. Not sure which I like better. I prefer frameless, but when the tones of the image are too close to that of the background, sometimes a frame is necessary.

Me too... I like this mainly because of that great cloud rendering... it is sensational. I would not have suspected a fish-eye lens, certainly wide angle but obviously very professionally processed Olaf. Very nice, regards Bob

The windmills are almost dead center and they "should" be the main point but my eye always drifts just a bit to the left to those glorious storm clouds and the falling rain. This is my favorite of the three.
