BEAUTIFUL!

beautiful cloud indeed, but i was just wondering if its on theme..."Your challenge is to photograph a recognizable cloud shape. It MUST be a figure such as an animal or shape that is clear and distinct. " Good luck !

I agree with Lamantine on this one, not to mention it doesn't look anything like a mushroom cloud from a bomb.

Agree w/ above, if it were a "mushroom cloud" from and atomic explosion... it would be on topic as a recognizable shape, although a really neat cloud, i believe this one falls under storm cloud...

c'mon guys, have a bit of imagination here............when do clouds ever look exactly like what people say they do............author, I can see it, well done for spotting it!

Hands up for those who have ever seen an actual Atomic bomb cloud?? This is my interpretation on what they must look like, I hope to never have to witness a real atomic bomb cloud.

Beautiful shot captured author...Lovely work.....Stunning image....

Edit : Ouch , sorry for not seeing the mushroom ! my apologizes author, really great find !

(Thanks Ade for the feedback )

Nice. I see it and I like it.

Sorry k5683 but I don't agree with you. If you have that opinion simply red flag it. You should try not to comment on administrative issues on contest enties- that's what the red flag system is for

yes, I just figured that out -- I somehow missed that revision/update and I will watch what I say from now on about "on/off theme"

Lol K5683 - I haven't revised it or updated it

nice!

Even the colour is apocalyptic! Great!

Amazing entry. I would be surprised if you won't get to top 3. Good luck
