A lot of exposure adjustments to bring out the colors and the sky. Upped vibrancy, clarity, and saturation. Did a little haze removal. Started with an HDR preset in lightroom and worked from that. No cropping. The original image was pretty, but I wanted it to sing.

I've only seen lenticular clouds like these one time, and I didn't have a camera. It was the golden hour too.

Nice catch.

This would have been a smashing photo for the lenticular cloud page!

Did you know that there is a cloud group online where you could post your photo if you want?
