When traveling we sometimes see a scene that interests us but we don’t take the time to photograph it saying to ourselves that we will get it on the way back.  But when we return later everything has changed; the light is different or someone has started construction right in the middle of the landscape.  My advice to the photographer is take the image when you are inspired the first time.  You can’t go back.

This storm shot was taken during a road trip and as you can see the weather was changing by the moment.  I like the nice panoramic feel to this image.  There is a sparseness to the land that is dominated by the storm front.  The small rainbow in the lower left tells us there is wet weather passing through the area.  I like the fact that the photographer left a mass of blue sky above the storm balancing the parry.

There are a couple of things the photographer might wish to alter in this image.  The overall image is on the muddy side, there are no clean whites.  If the levels and curves are adjusted to the back and white points there will be better contrast in the scene.  The horizon is tilted.  This is probably the natural slope of the land but it might be interesting to make the horizon level to give a feeling of a flat plain.
