Assignment #362: Calm Before The Storm

As a winter storm rolls in, you may encounter ominous skies, incredible cloud formations and dramatic light. Combine that with an interesting foreground element, and you have the potential for a successful stormy winter landscape, nature or wildlife image. Get out there and safely brave the elements to capture the beginnings of a winter storm in all its glory. Submit your best shots of the calm before the storm by February 20.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
