Green but beautiful! Could it be that the smallest scale in the fractal is still 10? Lower values could give some foreground detail. But I like it this way. It has some moving mood.

I like this, if it didn't take "too" long to render an animation would be sweet:)

@Volker - I'll check my values tomorrow, since the TGD is somewhere else.  I think you're right about the lowest value being 10.  This was deliberate so the smaller clouds didn't look like chewed up newspaper.

@cyphry - It was actually pretty quick.  One of these days I should try something with animation.

Nice job!  The cloud coloring bugs me a little, but other than that the details look fantastic.

@Buzzzzz - Thanks.  I think I've found some storm clouds.   ;D

@o_b - I appreciate your observations.  I think I'm looking at some times I've seen some dreadfully green-black skies and trying to imitate that.  I'll work on it. 

@Mr_Lamppost - I should...I really should.  Need time first.  Thanks for the suggestions and your comments.

Calico,

Love this! Great colouring (well on my CRT anyway, does look a bit greenish on my TFT (not that thats bad, still looks good) and I realy like the way there are bits of white cloud poking out from behind the grey.

I have some unused computers (read: some lying around in the computer lab that nobody ever uses;)) if you need processing help for the animation.

@dhavalmistry - Thanks!

@mr-miley - Appreciate the response.  Coloring can be so subjective, but in this case it reminds me of some heavy powerful clouds I've seen in my past.

@o_b - How would we go about that?  Would you need the TGD?...of course you would.  Let me know.  I'm interested, when you have time.

That yellowish green is fine for the clouds, but it looks like that the sky's blue is tinted, too.

Nope.  I adjusted the black & white levels in Paint.Net and that did influence the depth of the blue sky.

Well done! I like the detail that you have incorporated and I also like the colors quite a bit. Actually the green happens all the time. Here in Kansas during the summer just before or after a particularly nasty storm, the sky will turn that greenish color. Alot of the time tornado's seem to follow this kind of sky around.

Cool but a little green. Maybe you could see greenish clouds like this but possibly there would be more colour variation. I don't know because in the UK we never see this kind of coloration. I agree that it's a good idea to keep the smallest feature a little low or it gets a bit fibrous looking.

These are the quickest examples I could find without going outside and taking some photos.  If I can, I'll get some photos in the next month or so and put the results in the Open Discussion forum.

Those cloud formations are really lovely. Great work!

I just assumed that the yellowish colour (On my LCD), was the result of a low sun.  from the parts I can see the tops of your formations are white as would be expected at higher altitudes.

If you do find any spare time can I have some  ;) Actually I could do with quite a lot.
