Stunning panoramic capture Pam, the cloud formation on the left (sorry right) has me spellbound. I would burn some areas of mid-tone on the mountain itself to improve contrast there. Very well done.

Spectacular capture Pam.
It's not everyday we see a event like this.
Colours, detail, composition are excellent.
I wish I could have been there to witness it myself.

WOW Pam! What a corker! Such an amazing cloud formation, and you were so lucky to see it and catch it. And showing it from this distance gives us all a good view of it too. Well done,

Hi Pam,
This is a really interesting cloud/eruption. I've never seen anything like it before. The mushroon part on top is really impressive. Besides form the cloud, the photo is just beautiful as well. The mountains on the left are beautif in shape and color, and you low POV feels like we are on a boat sailing toward the could formation. Great colors and great light.

Hi Pam,
this looks spectacular - I think you stayed there longer to watch if there will come out a fire-fontain? I would have done so ;-)
It's a beautiful place, so silent and clear, I like it very much, thanks

This is quite astounding, Pam. I'd like your permission to send a link to this photo to the environmental sciences department at my university.
In terms of photography: your colours are superb and I like the "framing" with the dark mountain on the right and the tree on the left.

Hi Pam,
Yes really looks like a vulcanic eruption.
I like the way the wind blows the cloud to the right. Beautiful landscape too.
Well seen and TFS

Hi pam
Cette photo est très impressionnante, par son décor mais surtout par la force de la nature qu'elle représente.
Sur tous les plans, tu as bien composé cette photo cette chaine de montagnes avec ces droles de nuages dans le ciel sont très impressionnants.
Merci et au revoir...JP

Hi Pam,

This is really very interesting. I wonder what caused such a cloud. It has quite a strange colour for a cloud. A good landscape as well. Thanks for this post.

I find it hard to believe that it was just a cloud. It is very strange and you captured it really well. It's a super photo with great DOF and exposure.

Interesting comments, and I hate too burst your bubble. But the interesting cloud formation is just smoke from a grass fire. The farmers here burn off the old high country tussock to let the new growth come through. Happens every year.
But it does make an interesting photo.
