Nice pic with a strong tension! You don't mind if I use it as Desktop for a while, do you?

I noticed there are some anomalies in the upper right corner and one in the lower right, probably dust on the lens or something like that. You might like to edit them, on a big screen like mine (2560x1600, 30") they steal the focus. At least one of them can be seen in the small picture you've posted so it's not something due to stretching the image.


Enjoy it!
i'm going to upload the large size on Flicker ,when i get home ; the wide lens has some corner distorsion, also was very humid outside ,camera was inside the car in cool AC got some bad consensation on the heavy glass elements in humid hot weather before storm.

I'm no professional but I enjoy taking pictures, to the tune of 25,000 over the last 3 years! Here's a few.

I've seen lots of "professionals" who aren't half as good as you.  :aok
Definitely +1 on that  :aok

But my point is that just because someone identifies themselves as a "professional" doesn't necessarily mean they know what they are doing. 
I can say the same about computer techies. Anyone capable of running AntiMalware will put his number in the small ads of the local paper. If you can afford or otherwise manage combining it with your daily breadbringer, I would encourage you to keep your name on the list with minimal advertising. Just take the jobs people are willing to pay for knowing they'd get it well done. Raise your price level, if you feel like it. Ignore the rest, even the photoshopping queries. The word will spread and in the land of $#0 000 weddings you'd soon flooded with requests. Hopefully... If not, you'd have kept your dignity.  :salute

I'm having a little trouble with this one. Maybe it's just the fact that I have my computer hooked up to a 36" TV but this one just looks slightly blurry.

If you haven't told they were clouds I wouldn't have recocnized them. Then again, I've never seen mammatus clouds, they seem to be rare here. For what I saw on Google picture search, this one looks blurrier than it should, though.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

I love it. I've been watching a lot of tutorials on YouTube on how to do things. There's several good, helpful videos on there.

The first one is definitely a spitting image of a typical AH landscape! Now I know why the terrains look that way, and not like what I've seen from a passenger plane window.

From last year's 4th of July in NYC standing at the pier.
