Those are tremendous clouds, quite forbidding! The bottom layer is fabulous, like a sky monster proceeding g left to right! !
[Are you a purist? Would you ever contemplate removing the white cloud intruding from right and a tiny amount from the left or that would be a treachery to the truth?]
What is that water mass? Is it part of the ocean or a lake?
I myself collect such clouds excitedly, if I find them. I pull over from the highway to take a picture or find a parking garage to get to the roof to get a shot!
It’s as if I have won a prize or been blessed with good fortune hoping that it will be perfect for the day when there’s no cloud in sight and that’s what’s needed to complete a picture.
So this is a joy to me and you have a wonderful print ready right now for some lucky client!

I generally frame in camera and am unlikely to remove or add in most cases...so somewhat of a purist.

Nicolas Claris does the same! I however do much of my work with overlapping pictures which I stitch at home and so I am always recreating scenes I could only create with a lens I don’t have with me. So I have less of a conscience about hiding things that I feel shouldn’t be there as I am cheating anyway.
I also take a lot of lectures of rolling the studio with intent of placing butterflies on fingertips and tall redwood trees in the background.
So since at birth of my ideas I have already stolen sky of a collection of years back so I feel it’s permitted.
I might emphasize a few wrinkles my wife has earned with wonderful times of laughter. But otherwise, I try to be truthful!

Send me a good .tif of you and your wife in silly costumes together, then one of each of you looking quite serious or philosophical or the like with moody lighting and I will do some Platinum prints.

What camera model did you use and was it a contact print or did you use a enlarger?
A stunning presentation regardless.
It has been around 50 years since I’ve made a contact print!
