Blockade

looks like the map of Germany :)

I was all set to shoot a nice sunset when this cloud ruined it for me, but that didn't stop me from shooting. :D The photo was taken at Punta Cruz Watchtower, Bohol. :D

IMO, that cloud did not ruin your sunset compo sir, instead, it gives an element of mistery....for me, every sunset tells a story. Its amazing to see details of those little clouds in the foreground of the silhouette "blockade"....nice one!

That big fat cloud is definately the centerpiece of this photo, it truly is spectacular. Very ominous looking, and i love the sun rays filtering down from below it. One of the most interesting sunset photos i've seen in a long time!

Yup, I think without the cloud this would just have been another nice sunset - the cloud however lifts it out of the ordinary, and really makes it special, and different. I love this shot! :)

This is superb, almost looks like you placed the cloud artificially! This is really one of these once in a lifetime shots!

Saw this in Explore; excellent!
I think the dark cloud really makes it, and keeps the photograph from being JAS (Just Another Sunset, as in JAF, Just Another Flower, etc.).
