Lucie, how are you? You have to mail me with the news... :) Welcome back to TE! Great cloud formations on this one and amazing rainy atmosphere. The image lacks some contrast here in my work's CRT (the bottom layer is very foggy) and there is a slight blue cast all around. Actually, being a blue lover I quite like those tones. But anyway, I don't know if you took this behind a window or not, but the colors do seem a bit strange. Love the composition though; the dialogue between the needle tower and the giant cloud in the top left is really intense. Hope that you'll be more active on TE too. :)

Hello Lucie,
Nice to see you here around.
A nice composition under this threatening sky, I like the big cloud in the corner.

I like the composition and distribution of tones in this image, just perfect for cloud-lovers like myself :-) The blue-ish color in the sky is nice too. And great title, I can see the longhaired knight with cape attacking the city on his dragon.

Hi Lucie,

Kuala Lumpur is a tropical country. It gets a lot of "Attacks" and almost 80% in the world year.

I really love this picture especially the dramatic clouds over the city. Good shot!

Welcome back Lucie! I hadn't seen you on the site for so long that I thought you were gone, but I'm very happy to see you haven't forgotten TE. I'm also a big fan of clouds, and when they are right, as in this photo, they really add so much to the image. As you say, the cloud is perfectly positioned to balance the tall buildings on the right. I like the dark and threatening tone of the shot too - very appropriate. Great work, as usual!

Hi Lucie,

Nice to see you posting something again. Beautiful photograph, but the clouds really make this image for me, they're magnificent. I agree with a number of previous comments that whilst the blue colour is quite attractive, it does look a little unnatural too. Great composition with the triangular section of clouds in the top-left balancing out the taller buildings in the lower-right. Worth the wait :)

Regards,

Rich

You always find just the right compositions. You must have some control over the clouds because they are perfectly placed. They make those huge skyscrapers look so small. I like the overall blue look to the photo. Hope to see more photos from you in the near future.

Ryan

Hello Lucie,
Nice to see a new photo and hope you will be back on TE soon :o)
This is a nice composition and this funny agressive cloud makes it all. Good idea to have taken just the buildings skyline...
Have a nice day,
Best regards, Christian

Hi Lucie, nice to see you back on TE...
Kuwait? hummm! was there back in... 1988! I must admit i did not make any photo back then and found them to be a pretty unpleasant people, especially at the border!!!
as for this shot, i quite like the heavy sky before the pouring down...the sky looks like a painting!
take care

Hi Lucie!
This is a good shot from KL.The closer view in the ws is great,too with these dramatic clouds.
Your image shows well the humid atmosphere of the city and the modern architecture.

Hi Lucie,
Good to see you back here at TE! I'll be in Kuala Lumpur in the 4th week of August, hopefully with some better weather conditions. The clouds above the "low" skyline look fantastic from this high POV.
Well done,
Harko

Hi Lucie, it's a breathtaking city landscape - I do not know if it's right to compare Kuwait City with Kuala Lumpur - maybe to some extend yes.. tfs - Tomasz
