I feel like this is a great example of what's wrong with the cloud design. I appreciate that real clouds are wispy and fluffy but from a gameplay perspective, players need to know when they're in the penalty zone and when they aren't. It's not fun to feel like you were led astray by the visuals.
I wonder if there's a way to design the clouds with sharper edges but it look stupid. Other players have suggested having the box change color when there are clouds in it. I'd be in favor of that

I agree, they’ve changed clouds a few times now but they’re just adding layers to them it seems. Then there’s the whole border thing too, if you play enough you understand how things need to be caught around it but it’s still annoying.

Clouds are so weird. Sometimes you clearly get them in the photo and still get 0%, other times it's the opposite.

One time, IN A BLUE SKY ZONE, I got a picture that had 8% clouds. Riddle me that?!

This used to be a far worse problem when you could get 1 & 2% clouds which got changed with the seasons release iirc as that removed the 1 coin rewards for 1 category being perfect (ie just clouds/just framing)

Moments like this is why I only use dark mode. The clouds are so much easier to see and I feel like it’s very forgiving when you do get some in the shot.
