Thank You Rebecca and Laurence!..Timing was very important for this shot. I consider myself fortunate to have clicked the shutter when I did. The cloud was fast moving as it approached its upward limitation, the troposphere . Yes, I think I caught it at its best.

A really, amazingly dramatic, stormy photo, Mike, well done! Definitely looks like a cauliflower or a bomb waiting to explode at any moment! Looks like a strong autumn, electrical thunderstorm and unstable weather will happen pretty soon that afternoon, after a relatively hot bout of weather over North Phoenix, USA, with plenty of thunder and lightning and a deluge of rain. Stay inside and be safe! From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
Dynamic and explosive! Powerful stuff! Clouds rule!!!
Love it!
Laurence
