Clouds of the dramatic sort

Here is the 6th(?) in my 52 week photo project. This is a photograph I took last summer of the clouds. I tried a few new editing methods on this one including the finding edges filter. I tend to stay away from filters, but I wanted this image to have some extreme contrast and make the edges really pop. So this filter was perfect for that. I did a few other things as well. This is from one photograph, not layered with multiple (hey, maybe I’ll try that next week!). If you click on the image you can get a 1920 x 1080 HD resolution that you could use for a desktop wallpaper if you wish. Let me know what you think in the comments below!
