You have less than 2 days left to submit a photo for this contest, or resize the one you have submitted if it is beyond the allowed size.

This picture was taken from my window. It was raining so decided to look at it through my window and saw this cloud. My camera would have taken time to load and the cloud was moving fast so I took an instant picture through my phone hence the quality is not great. I thought I could see a face in this picture.

This picture is not as good as other but I just thought that I would share as the competition is about clouds. :smile:

It seems to be OK now, but it was larger when I first saw it.

I saw this unbelievable sight when I was going from 1 building to the next in an aquarium. I just had to take a pic. It had just rained. I have never seen anything like this ever.

This is not nearly as good as what has been entered already. It was taken earlier on the same day I took the HDR photo (in the photography thread). Please excuse the lens flare and glare.
