Hey, i just searched through my photos and found some pieces of work that could be useful. Most of them are those "dramatic skies" you were looking for. License.txt -file is also packed in, for further questions or so just mail me. You can find the file on my webspace - ca. 19 MB compressed folder. http://www.schnorchelkatze.ist-stylish.de/Skies_for_Fedora_11_by_krzzzt.tar.bz2 Now the thing i should have said a week before i guess... Hello, i'm Justus Holzberger from Germany. I'm a happy Fedora-user and want to share my talents with the fedora-project. I do photography and work also with Blender and Gimp - even want to study arts, so i think i should just fit fine into the artwork-team of fedora. For my Portfolio take a look at http://www.krzzzt.deviantart.com and fon't forget to look into the scrapbook - i'm one of the rare people who use it. I'm glad to help if i can!
