hygge,,So the suggestion is..we are pretty much free to define ” cloudscape” due to rather open ended subjective definitions. The nearest ” help” that I think of is ” landscape” as in the illustrative arts. Grand views of earth and sky lit to emphasis atmosphere and scale I suppose is one way to start . So I ..and I mean its my preference,with no want to tell anybody else how they should define cloudscape, I like to create cloudscapes ,, with nothing but clouds, no earth at all. Well, what i would call abstracts or studies etc,,I generally include no earth at all. So me, continuing that personal preference shouldn’t be surprising to see.
But that doesn’t mean I lack reference points in my photos. Horizontal and vertical lines can act as reference points for those who would like to have some. As with the illustrative arts, there is texture, contrast , direction, atmosphere etc to also lend accessibility to a creation. I guess, to get right to it, no matter how ” Cloudscape” is defined, its still a subject personal definition, no better or worse than an others.
So hang on, Im going to try to stay within a general parameter of expectation of ” Cloudscape” but please don’t be boxed in by that loose rule of thumb.
A downside to this ” definition” attempt is..size. With ” Landscape” I think , grand, majestic etc and large scale canvases to accommodate the thought. Im the same way with Cloudscapes,,but I have to use my imagination to see what is on my computer screen as it would be observed on the living room wall. So we should have no qualms if anybody clicks on and drags a Cloudscape from here, drops the pic on their screen and they at least expand it up to full screen size..PLEASE Do It
Okay , enuf yik yak. Below is a B& W Cloudscape I’ve been waiting for the right moment. It appears now is it.

Thanks Hans! That shot was fun to process.
Another one that plays with habitual depth perception.

Hans, some interesting wind currents creating that cross hatching effect underneath a undulating backdrop!

George, yea I organize by date and if something is special then I mite add a key word to it like a genus and species etc. The flaw is..i have to stay on top of processing all of it. Hopefully I can do better at that now that I have more free time.
Lots of ” or” above so here is my answer: Yes
