About	I was passing through the seemingly infinite, desolate spaces that comprise Oregon's remote South-Eastern landscape along the Alkali flats of Abert lake, as the skies rapidly darkened preceeding an ominous thunderstorm descending on the far shore. Hail and rain swirled intensely through the skies within it, backlit dramaticly by the filtered sunlight. I visulized a B&W rendition to capture the surreal, powerful mood of the fleeting moment. I hiked a half-mile onto the flats before finding a long pool stretching towards the stormy horizon. To control the exposure I used a strong 2-stop hard grad, intensifying the dramatic sky. I consider it one of my most powerful and evocative images from nature.

Yes, eerie was certainly what I had in mind for this photograph. I'm not sure if any of my color work captures this mood quite as well.

SUPERB!!!!!!

Its certainly powerful but I personally think your colour work is better .. you did well to capture the cloud in its position .. it mirrors the water almost .. some smooth post processing there too .. nice one
