Oh, wow, what an amazing cloud you spotted, Roshan. Thanks for sharing here. There is at the left in the first image clearly undulatus, which makes the cloud altocumulus. The curly ones are also altocumulus since they miss the striations of cirrus. Maybe the curly part and the more plane and flat part are different clouds seen as one but at a different altitude. This explains nothing about what’s happening but the lat image shows clearly fluctus or KH. They are caused by shearing winds at the level where they show up. The undulatus is also caused by shearing winds perpendicular to the pattern. It might be the same wind that causes the two phenomena at different altitudes in different clouds but both altocumulus. I must admit this is a bit speculative and I look forward to any other opinion. Anyway very nice.

Thank you Keelin for your kind words. It is nice to read that we inspired you to catch your Morning Blush. It surely was worth the early rise.
Ruth your Last Light has magic. As has #112, Michael. Great colors.
Hint of an Evening BlushYou must have had fun, Michael. #95 is very elegant and I love #93 for it’s deep blues. Just like Ruth I always enjoin to see more of these guys. Great one Ruth.
Just One Of The Guys
Great start of this new volume with your caterpillar, Ruth. Also a very interesting cloud with these spikes. And a great snail by Angela.
To continue Keelin’s sequence:
It’s a Bird!
Keelin, your composition of “It all depends on how you look at it…” is fantastic. Love it. And your “Ocean Jelly in a Salty Sea” as well. And I had a good laugh about your Victorian Flirting Accessory.
Ruth, I love your “Single Jellyfish (hold the peanut butter)”. Very funny.
I Don’t Know What Creature I am, But I know I know I am Going To Eat Something That’s On My WayTwo clouds walk into a bar.. is very funny Michael. Great pileus indeed Ruth.
here is some fun with sunset colors
Purples
Thanks Ruth. It must be the larger version of ‘I Know You’re There’ by Keelin on the gallery. It is a pity it does not have it’s funny title there. Love it. As your tasty Spumoni, Ruth.
Do you know sundogs also come in breeds?
Dachshund
Christopher I just want to add something to this little discussion. Yes it is certainly the variety radiatus as Michael replied, but varieties are not mutually exclusive for a genus. Possible species are mutually exclusive but possible varieties are not. I guess we see Stratocumulus and so the complete classification will be Stratocumulus undulatus radiatus. A mouthful of Latin.
The most important thing is that it is a very nice spotting.
I see you posted your question already some time ago. My answer would be that there is not a post-processing solution fro clouds. I use Lightroom and can do anything I want. Photoshop will do too.
I hope you will find your way Christopher.

Bubbly all over above, but in Slàinte! i see the head of an alerted snake ready to attack, Keelin. Maybe the result of having had too much bubbly drinks?
The opposite of bubbles
Arizona sunset #111 is really painterly, Michael. A true brush painting. Great peachy colors, Ruth. Very tasty.
Mainly Blues
So much fun above! A great sundog in the tail of a contrail, Tony. Ariel’s Pastel Pod might be a neon lighted tropical fish. Ruth you hunted with success for a full moon with corona. Keelin, aren’t we all halo fans? A great composition.
Another SundogI just want to add something to former comments. Michael is right there is duplicatus involved, but that’s just the variety we see and not the genus. It is not cirrocumulus we see here, but it is more likely to be altocumulus undulatus. The different undulatus patterns betray the duplicatus variety Michael already mentioned. A really nice one to spot, Vivid.
