This is a really stunning and memorable photograph by any standard! I think this one surely must be seriously considered for inclusion in the CAS 2019 calendar. It is a true delight to view and a wonder of our wonderful clouds.
A masterpiece of Nature’s supreme handiwork. Well done, Ryan, and grateful thanks for sharing this magnificence with us.

Really interesting. Looks like either a surreal, iridescent oil-painting, where the light from the sky is reflected into the water below or it could be the Aurora Australia(Southern Lights) in the sky. From Rebecca Hill, Canberra, Australia
Stunning colours and a beautiful photo. Surreal.
Stunning shot. Looks like a sky over an alien planet. Thanks for sharing.
