As I was driving from Denver to Colorado Springs, I ran into this storm, complete with hail and plenty of rain. Where I took this picture, north of the storm was still sunny, so the lighting conditions were quite interesting.

Oh...my...GOD. As soon as I saw the photo, I said, "This looks like it was taken in Colorado." Wow. Great to see another photographer capture what is seen daily here in a different light. Well done.

ryan this is sick. i love how bright the ground is - with the looming death-clouds in the not-so-distant distance.

Stunning. That is one dramatic capture, Ryan. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

Beautiful contrast between the golden brown ground and the distant gray thunder storm. Nicely captured the play of lights :)

Love the lighting and variation of the clouds. Can almost "feel" the storm approaching!

Did you catch up to the rainbow? We had something similar to this yesterday and I only captured the rainbow.

Awesome contrast. Almost a fire and water thing.

Hey, you really have some great sky shots lately ya. Love the golden grass too. Did you apply any special processing to it?

Absolutely stunning shot! This has to be my favourite lighting condition, storms are so photogenic! Well captured.

Beautiful. I saw a storm just like this, with similar lighting, in Mammoth Lakes (east side of the sierra in California). This is quite a good capture of this one, and thank you for lowering the horizon to catch all those very interesting clouds.

A bit Ansel Adams-esc, but still unique to you. I love the way you capture this moment.
