the sky is not the main point of focus here...................

Focus is going more on the structure....a nice snap but i guess its off theme....

Unless that statue is levitating, I think it would be considered "ground"

Read tthe guidelines again...."''', it doesn't matter what is under the sky, as long as the focus remains on the heavy clouds. No ground can be visible in your photo.""" There is no "ground" in this.

I can see this is going to be an other competition where we will have lots of arguments. Suggesting a theme isn't easy, but I do wish they had somebody who would read through the suggestions, and think how they could be clarified, and less open to misunderstandings.

Lovely!

beautiful landscape
