Velvet Sky
This photo was taken while on vacation in Colorado. The clouds had been forming for hours before this as I was running errands. About 30-45 minutes before sunset, it turned into one of the most surreal skyscapes I had ever seen. Captured with my girlfriend's point n' shoot camera!

What a sky! Glad you captured this moment now gone forever. Proves the old saying about getting a great shot is true:
"F8 and be there"

Hey Ralf,

The post processing on this one included using Fred Miranda's "Velvia Vision" plugin, adjusting selective color, curves, and sharpness.
