•  Weak support Support Guessing that you may want fast feedback :–): A great find, these clouds are so beautiful and the silhouette of the hills with the radome is nice, too. At first glance I was not sure about the authenticity of the colours, but the category contains similar (and even more colourful) examples. The previous version was too small for a FP, but luckily the Flickr page provides a higher resolution, so I have re-uploaded the full resolution. Now remains the question if that 2009 photograph is sharp enough, but given the fact that cloud photographs always look a bit soft the quality is decent, IMHO. (Maybe somebody wants to carefully reduce the colour noise and to gently sharpen the contours.) --Aristeas (talk) 18:01, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

   Comment -- There is more that I have prepared to nominate, but due to the amount of pictures you can nominate at a time, I'll have to wait until July 19. I now try to pick images that have a good background and foreground and are high-quality. A lot were either all cloud or very sparse. TheBigBookOfNaturalScience (talk) 18:41, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

•  Improved version uploaded Dear reviewers @Alan R Light, TheBigBookOfNaturalScience, Aristeas, Harlock81, El Grafo, and SHB2000: In order to enhance the image, I removed the mentioned flaws such as the noise, posterization and CA's. Additionally I applied a gentle sharpening and contrast editing. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 10:50, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

  Lovely! SHB2000 (talk) 10:55, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
