going solo by graemestevens

going solo

Best on black, distressingly "normal" (if there is such a thing...and given that I was naked and on fire when I took this shot, I highly doubt that there is).
Attention seeker!

@susiangelgirl Everybody loves a flaming naked man ;)
November 7th, 2016  
too much information - but great formation
November 7th, 2016  
@graemestevens How true and we don't see them often enough!
November 7th, 2016  
Fantastic contrasts, it almost distracts you from the naked/on fire while shooting thing!
November 7th, 2016  
Very dramatic. Both the shot and the information.
November 7th, 2016  
So are those smoke clouds?
November 7th, 2016  
Mushroom clouds? what a heroic bird.
November 7th, 2016  
@yaorenliu Certainly very brave...
@katrinanz Not possible...I signed the Kyoto Agreement ;)
@salza Thank you kindly :)
@kerosene I had to pass the time while I waited for the bird somehow...and thank you ma'am
@annied Theres no such thing as too much information...maybe
November 7th, 2016  
Love the drama.
November 7th, 2016  
Stunning capture 👍
November 7th, 2016  
AWESOME on black! Fav for sure.
November 7th, 2016  
It's rare that a pure cloudscape is strong enough to stand alone... this is one of those Fav!
November 7th, 2016  
The efforts at reprogramming didn't take, then?

Great photo, of course. Well done.
November 7th, 2016  
Wow - great on black or should we say "noir" like your FB mate...
November 7th, 2016  
Dramatic !!
November 7th, 2016  
Wonderful dramatic sky...
November 7th, 2016  
Tempestuous :)
November 7th, 2016  
Great effect - or is it the smoke from you on fire?? - Fav
November 7th, 2016  
it would quite spoil my day to think of you as normal
November 7th, 2016  
where's the selfie then? Actually....no. let's stick with the clouds. nice shot.
November 7th, 2016  
@jesperani I think I (and everyone else) needs a break every now and then ;)
@pistache I think it's something I could never achieve...not that I've aimed for it...
@sweetsue53 It's just clouds and a hapless bird taking on the storm...and thank you
@hermann A bit like my poor overworked brain ;)
@tonygig Thank you very much :)
@joannakate Thanks very much :)
@alinz We probably should - it would be rude of us not to follow the well established "rules" ;)
@scotthouston They never have and never will - and thank you very much
@vignouse Thank you very much - the original shot includes the beach and stones as per usual, but I felt this hard crop was worth it.
@rachelpeony Thank you so much :)
@paul10 Thank you kindly :)
@spanner I'm all in favour of a bit of drama ;)
November 7th, 2016  
Excellent....
November 7th, 2016  
I'm trying to figure out the vantage point from which you took this. That one, lone, soaring bird kind of makes the shot for me.
November 7th, 2016  
I take it this is not a selfie!
November 7th, 2016  
Lee
Great sky.
November 7th, 2016  
Nice eye for irony as always
November 7th, 2016  
Controlled burn or simply spontaneous combustion?
November 7th, 2016  
@joysabin Its never controlled...
@jgpittenger Thank you very much - I do my ironing on Sunday ;)
@gamelee Thank you very much :)
@maggiemae Well spotted ;)
@gardencat It made it for me as well...this has been well and truly cropped as I was standing on the bead, so the regional shot includes some unruly waves and a lot of rock...
@jack4john Thank you kindly :)
November 8th, 2016  
Wow - really wow! A must fav for me! (and I love that little bird)
November 8th, 2016  
@linnypinny Thank you very much :)
November 8th, 2016  
Just trying to imagine you naked, on fire, and trying to work a camera. The mind boggles.
November 8th, 2016  
@888rachel It wasn't just the mind that boggled...
November 8th, 2016  
Fav
November 8th, 2016  
Liker Rachel says.... only it was so disturbing that I soon stopped trying! Glad you managed to put yourself out
@888rache
November 8th, 2016  
@susale Thank you very much :)
@yrhenwr I'm still smouldering gently...
November 8th, 2016  
What a wonderful sky you have really captured the moment.
November 9th, 2016  
@photonan Thank you very much :)
November 9th, 2016  
First I thought I was looking at the sea with huge waves, but then realised it was a sky. Great shot!
November 9th, 2016  
@overalvandaan Thank you very much - I took the liberty of cropping out the rather flat sea
November 10th, 2016  
Beautiful dramatic sky
November 12th, 2016  
@shylaine3304 Thank you kindly, it's my favourite kind of sky
November 12th, 2016  
Looks like you were actually up there in the clouds xx
November 14th, 2016  
@psychographer I'm not telling ;)
