Project52 - Week Six: Cloudy Sunset

Project52 - Week Six: Cloudy Sunset, originally uploaded by Jessica M. Cross.

Last night, while out in the horse's paddock, I saw these amazing clouds while the sun was setting. It looked spectacular, but of course while I got my camera and came back it had disappeared. There was still this pattern of clouds left though. It looks quite unusual - there was storms elsewhere in the state, but they were doing a nice job of going around up unfortunately, so all we got were these orange-y/purple-y/blue-y clouds.

I forgot to bring my gradient filter with me, but in Lightroom I did an auto tone and increased the blacks to take out the detail in the bottom third of the picture.

It was hard to choose between this and another picture, I might post the other at a later date to see what people think.
