Great shot here and title Kathy. The sky is dark and dramatic. Great natural colours with very good exposure. Great focus, texture and clarity. Well done and thanks for sharing :-)

I am not sure what is more impressive the image or your words stating "the delicate balance between tranquility and turmoil.

Clearly this is expressed with the still water and the threatening clouds and impending storm.

The border of rocks along the pond adds interest to the scene and leads one to the background. This image has a something to it that in my limited vocabulary I cannot put words to it. No matter, the beauty speaks for itself.

Hi Kathy, I definitely would not want to be out there when the clouds release their wet cargo! Ominous is definitely the look of this image. I'm not positive but it looks like there is a touch of fog just above the water. It could be the reflection of the clouds too. Looks like you picked a wild day to get this shot! The image is so dramatic! You really captured a moment here. Focus and lighting are right on target. The shot is awesome. Wish I had a six for you! :o) Nancy

I really love this coffee that sky looks so ominous. And the reflections off the water are really dramatic. Love how you've touched a little bit of the landscape on the forefront to give it depth. Extremely well done. Thank you for sharing.

This nature shot is a visual treat! Your framing draws the eye beautifully, and the play of light and shadows, combined with the subtle colours, makes it truly captivating. Here's my six for the wonderful shot. Well done!

A good looking nature image posted here! Your fine and classical composition gives us an enjoyable view of that approaching storm and its reflections in a beautiful location. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well taken!

Living in Alaska I see the almost instant changes in the weather, it's truly amazing.
This is a nice view , it's quiet and peaceful .
Well captured with nice focus, this image is clear and exposure is well managed. Colors and tones appear natural, I find the reflections on the water to be fascinating .I like the rock and grass in foreground , it gives perspective as well as giving nice depth to your scene.
Well composed and presented!
