Thank you Laurence for the last link with all the finalists. They are all wonderful pictures. There is also this fantastic black and white cirrus cloudscape, a colorful asperitas, Paris in the snow and…. too hard to choose and they are not even on the shortlist.

Beautiful compositions, Hans! Your series of Asperitas is truly breathtaking. Here is a Mostly Greys image that I like for its soft, sleepy feel. […oops! can’t seem to add an image at the moment… the icon has disappeared. Hopefully a fix will come soon.]

Great choreography and light-play Keelin! The contrast works great. Over here today again an aperitas event. Quite rare! I read in the article about the origin of asperitas (see home page), that gravity waves are supposed to be the cause – on their turn generated by...

So glad you were there and aware to take notice of the morning’s variable speed dance, Hans — and with camera in hand! Excellent captures of two distinct moods of Asperitas. And I agree, Michael is right about their affinity for black and white portraiture....

Hans..IMHO you have photographed Asperitas. Majority of photos of Asperitas are of the perspective from below;The wave rolls seen from below. You have photos of..what I will guess as .smaller manifestations at an opportune distance that shows the lower level of wave but also the...

Quite amazing these continuations on the theme op spinning, curling, unfurling and other circular motions. I like them all. Motion leads to Change Of Weather I don’t know what I do see here except for a exceptional cloud configuration. Some characteristics of asperitas can be...

Capturing clouds make one feel the hasty white rabbit for sure. Once seen a nice cloudscape you already must have your camera in hand to capture it. You were certainly prepared Michael to shoot this great asperitas. Keelin you triggered my memory with your philosophic...
