Clouds visualize the turbulence of the atmosphere

9-stitch pano...

That is an interesting curve of light.

Akira, I am thinking that perhaps you might have not embedded an sRGB profile in this pano? When I looked at the photo in my editor it looked more colourful, as in this resized attachment. (I do hope that both photos appear to have different colours on other monitors, else my point is lost.)

Akira: I like it as a document, but I would be more satisfied with a little more earth horizon stuff at the bottom.
Andrea, The original photo posted has the muted blue-gray color that I assume was intended, in my browser:  Safari on a Mac.
Your example has the funky blue-green where the original was blue-gray.
Interesting that you got that different color.  Non color managed browser?

Andrea, I stitched NEF in Photomerge of CC2015, saved to 16bit TIFF and saved "for the web".  The overall dark gray tone of the clouds displayed here looks pretty much true to the real clouds I observed.  Your version looks a bit too pleasant. 

Keith, yes, I should have included the earth horizon stuff more for better composition as pano.  Also, I should have used s tripod and the pano head.  But it was dawn and the lighting condition changes so fast, so I decided to hand-hold the camera.

Originally I was just trying to capture this beautifully elaborate shape of the clouds for my personal record, but decided to share here because of its interesting look.

Thanks, anyway, for your comments and advices.
