About Based on the comments of Hugo de Wolf and others I decided to repost this image - The only manipulation was to darken the sky and distant mountains and a slight increase of background contrast. Your comments are very welcome!

Evry drop of rain in the arid Karoo seems to be a miracle, much more so when one can experience the subtle changes of tones and atmosphere as the brief Karoo rainstorm passes by - to leave you with that overwhelming aroma of fresh soil and vegetation.

You have captured the essence of the Karoo beautifully in this picture, it is refreshingly different from the usual landscape of this area that most of us tend to ignore as we rush through this arid landscape. Nicely seen and well presented.

Interesting contrast between foreground and background.

To me the nature shots of your country are an emotional challenge, everything on such a grand scale!This shot is so full of atmosphere as if I were just feeling the rain on my skin!Colours are amazing!Earth showing its hidden beauty - this is how I'd describe this shot!

It's a beautiful scenery and an excellent image. I like the pastel tones and how the distant mountains fade out. Unfortunately I couldn't find the original post to make a comparison.
Best regards, Markus

This scene is similar to our mountains scenery after rain :)
I like the most in this capture the gradient and the smooth transition of the layers density from fore to background.
Well arranged work

Sunny and warm on the foreground and a rain from the distant mountain.... very contrasting weather you've captured. I don't think any improvement is needed, I can feel the cool desert breeze coming, looking at this photo. What is visible is the different layers all with different tones and the variations of light.
nice one!

Hi Joggie, pretty hard to pick any fault with this, I love the balance and how the colour and clarity both change together through the image, it is a beautiful pic.

Peter.

I love the the the hills and mountains in the background are layered into the distance in the rain shower, Joggie! A very good contrast between foreground and background.

Surely a better photographic work Joggie but a lost atmosphere, for me. I love atmospheres.
Take care.
