A classic 'Ranke' image, Carsten!
Every element adds something to the shot and the whole thing holds together beautifully.
Great work, once again.
Best regards, Chris

the composition is out of the ordinary, also you managed to retain clear yet soft tones. This is a great image.

Michele, thank you for commenting. This cloud was indeed special, because it correlates so nicely with the land geometry.
The EF-S 10-22 mm zoom is mounted 95% of the time on my 300D. For my landscapes, as wide angle freak, the best glass available. Optically, my 17-40/4L is a wee bit better in sharpness and contrast, but is more prone to flare. The 10-22 lens is solid, decent optically, highly recommended IMO.
Ciao
Carsten

Amazing shot, I love how the cloud and the road are level with eachother. The shine on the wet road and the highlighted clouds carry ones eye through the shot nicely. Alison

Excellent B/W photo, nice tones and good atmosphere.
I believe you like the square compositions, I do not so much and I like this photo more when the base is a few cm higher.
Kind regards.

Ferdinand, right you are. I am a big friend of the square @ the moment. This is a crop from a vertical shot, so I could show more farm track, but... I thought it was a nice idea to break the "dead center" rule and make a symmetric shot, sky and farm track corresponding over the center
Cheers

Hi Carsten, es scheint wir fotografieren ähnliche Landschaften:) hier ist die sw-Tonung stimmig, hast du den Himmel bearbeitet oder war er so dramatisch? sieht schön aus. Bei meinem Photo (Road) war der Himmel so hell die Sonne kam gerade durch, habe da nichts verändert....
Ciao, Pia

Hallo Pia, ja die Landschaften ähneln sich sehr. Aber nicht nur darum mag ich deine Fotos ;-)
Der Himmel sah in etwa so aus, die RAW-Aufnahme direkt aus der Kamera leider nicht (99% der RAWs sehen fad und flau aus - dennoch finde ich daß es sich lohnt, die RAWs langwierig nachzubearbeiten. Letztlich mehr Flexibilität. Jedenfalls bin ich nicht Profi, der vielleicht die jpegs gleich perfekt im Kasten hat).
Ich neige dazu, den HImmel im nachhinein ein wenig dramatischer zu machen als er war (aber immerhin ist es immer der originale, nicht ein hineinkopierter Himmel aus dem Fundus...).
Viele Grüße
Carsten

Carsten,
There is something I am not sure about in here, Did you follow your way here taking two pictures and stitching them together?!
If so, How did you manage to get it this way handheld?!
Wonderful capture and treatment, very well done,
Regards,

Ameed, this was a single vertical shot, handheld, cropped to square. Composite of differently converted RAWs /TIFFs to get the desired tones.
Cheers

This caught my attention immediately. The fabulous lighting and the lines that draw one's eye to the buildings in the background. I like the silhouette to the right. I can't explian why, but for me, this would be much less of a picture without it. Superb.

It is a great cloud, but the road leading up to it is equally fine in my view. The b/w is very dramatic and effective for this image.

Wow! Ever looked at something for the first time, and it just bowled you over? It's that same impact. It must be the big sky, but I'm just as impressed with the land. Every blade of grass and every pebble I can make out. The power lines and poles are a critical element bringing a sense of perspective.
