Dramatic Skies



This photo was recently published in Digital Camera Magazine (Malaysia, October 2006 issue) and won the monthly Mission Contest for the theme "Dramatic Skies", beating 10 other contestants (whose photos were also published) to the prize. The stark contrast between the bright and dark areas of the sky was slightly adjusted in Photoshop, giving the viewer an impression of some sort of cataclysmic event.

From the magazine: Why this won: This image is an awesome sight. It reminds us of the scene during the appearance of the alien invasion from the movie "ID4" (Independence Day). It's a picture that stands out from the crowd and attracts anyone to take a closer look.

I couldn't have described it any better than that. :)
