Okay, firstly on your last shot. It's completely no good. You must never (as a rule) tilt the camera on this type of shot, always keep it straight.
1-2 the whites are blown out and I'm just not feeling it sorry. good luck and happy shooting!

Tell him how you really feel. I love the first two.

I think they would be better if you got out of the car to take the pics.

I like taking skyscapes. Tell me if these are any good?
It's funny how two different people can see one image and have such different gut feelings about it. When I look at the first two I see what must have been a pretty amazing sight and the subsequent attempt at capturing that moment might not do the memory of that moment justice. If someone didn't have tons of previous similar shots to compare a given new shot to, then these would look great. If someone did have lots more experience, and much better examples of spot-on light control, then these would seem lacking.
SO .....I think both previous posts are correct....it's all a matter of perspective. ( and hearing different opinions from different "eyes", can only help you get a better shot next time.)

Love the clouds. I would try to get the other stuff out of the shot next time. I love taking pictures of clouds, also. The colors and the feeling!

Ha! I paid good money for tilted pictures of my daughter's wedding! Why didn't I get the memo?

I see pictures on a tilt a lot lately. I have even done some of mine that way because it seems to work for that particular shot.

Sorry you didn't get the memo, look it up!
I Don't see anything interesting about any of these photographs (my opinion) state your opinion's towards the poster, not the other reply. Be more, how would you say, adult like?

In the first shot: I'm thinking lose the lightpole. I kinda like the sun-flare there, though and although it looks like the saturation was a little overdone, I rather like the surreal effect.
In number two: I like sky shots that are framed a bit by the surroundings either foreground or the landscape. I see that you cropped a lot of the landscape out in this one, but it might have made more of an impact for me if you'd left a little more, by which I could compare the intensity and size of the clouds to.
I'm also not a fan of the tilted photos... but would see more of an artistic flare to it if it were ONLY the clouds with no bit of the landscape visible,
I like the colors in all of them and think they must have surely been something to see in person.

I love this!!! You've got Simon's and Paula's. Simons will tell you streight up exactly what they think of your photo and usually for the most part their absolutely right. Paula's on the other hand will want to sugar coat their comments and if someone (Simon) is being in their eyes "mean" then Paula will even give you a compliment although you don't deserve it. You have to ask yourself "do I really want to know the truth or do I just want someone to make me feel good"? You have to realise that Simon will tell you what you NEED to know even if he isn't very nice about it. I'm going to have to take the side of Simon and say these are streight out snap shots of the sky. You need to learn a little bit about composition. Especially when dealing with pictures of the sky.

Tilted shots are more for portraits, I believe...

How about a nice balance between the Simons and the Paulas? I think you can tell them what you really think, but be nice about it. Also have to remember we all come from different levels. Beginners need encouragement as well as telling them what needs to change, I think... But then, I'm a woman.
