I like the way you've framed this, Howard, especially by getting the whole of the cumulonimbus cloud into the shot!

Thanks, Andy. Your understanding of what I'm trying to is appreciated and I find it encouraging.

I'm just waiting for someone else to rubbish the picture, alleging inter alia that there's too much sky and not enough foreground.

If that remark is meant for me, Howard, I would remind you of the fact that you've been a vigorous critic of my own photos for more than ten years now, inserting unsolicited note boxes with cropping suggestions and even removing what you consider to be offending items, including quite recently a whole BUS, which you took exception to. I take it all in good humour and accept the 'D's and 'diarr's along with the occasional 'A's, so it's only fair that you should accept criticism from myself or Roy in the same spirit.

Roy is currently indisposed, having dunked his way through too many ginger nuts. So, if I might give my own opinion, I think this is a very nice picture, though it could benefit from a few minor improvements. I agree with Andy that it's a very nice cloud (real or Shepperton?), but the teeniest crop from the uppermost billow would give a sense of even greater height, by allowing the eye to imagine the rest, rather than being abruptly cut off. A little more foreground would indeed have balanced it out better.
