Golden Meadows[edit]

Supercolor Cumulus Field
Supercolor Cumulus Field 2

This picture appears in the articles Cumulus cloud and Cumulus humilis and it perfectly represents the appearance of cumulus clouds and the good weather associated with them. I also believe that the picture also captures the "feeling" of beautiful weather. The kind of day where you can step outside and inhale deeply and say "Ah! What a beautiful day!". It's both artistic and encyclopedic!

Comments:

  • The blues in the sky are a bit grainy, and could use a smooth. I haven't looked through all the old revisions because images are loading so slowly, just the current one and the first; but I do think that cloning out the plant in the foreground, just left of center, might have been a mistake. (On the other hand, the cloning was very well done, and I wouldn't have noticed it at all if I hadn't looked at the old revision.) Trivial nitpick: I'd prefer that the spelling in the image name was correct. —Cryptic (talk) 02:09, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oh God! I made a spelling error. I'll never live this down. And I've always prided myself on my good spelling too! I'll have to leave Wikipedia forever, now. But before I do, I can upload this smooth version. *Looks at image title* Man, how embarrassing.PiccoloNamek 02:38, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's nice, and I like it, but I have a feeling that people might think it a bit ordinary. If Melbourne Yarra Afternoon can be dismissed as ordinary, I'm pretty sure that this will be too. Raven4x4x 07:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I think it's stunning, personally.PiccoloNamek 07:30, 20 November 2005 (UTC) :)[reply]

I do too, but I thought the Melbourne one was stunning as well... Raven4x4x 13:12, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we'll see. I think anyone can go outside a take a picture of the clouds, but not many people can capture the essence of what a beautiful day feels like. :)PiccoloNamek 18:45, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it's a nice day. The picture does not take me, though - the horizon is bland, and the clouds are being chewed at by the wind. Denni 01:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
