The purpose of these challenges is to encourage us to get out and get the best shot of an assigned subject. It's a great way to enhance your photography skills.
Even if you think you take crappy pictures, please join in. Those of you just reading the forum and not posting, this is your chance to join in and show off.

[important]These challenges are always open to your personal interpretation of the topic. Don't feel obligated to take anything literally. Thinking differently than everyone else might be what puts that trophy in your hot little hands. Good luck![/important]

This month's challenge: "Clouds"

Only rules:
It has to be taken by you.
It has to be taken in Upstate NY. *


A winner will be selected based on the following criteria:
-freshness (have we seen it somewhere before or did you take it just for this challenge? - we prefer the latter!)
-frame
-subject
-creativity
-use of color (or lack thereof)
-uniqueness

* Photos taken outside of Upstate NY are welcome for display as long as they are labeled as such.
I am strong, because I've been weak.
I am fearless, because I've been afraid.
I am wise, because I've been foolish.

We spent the last week in a cabin on the Susquehanna river near Binghampton NY and these were taken there.

Matt, you said we get extra points if the clouds look like something, these look like trouble in the top one to me! :)
