Impressive image of the approaching storm Wheeler - hope you didn't get caught in it. I like the inclusion of the foreground road as a anchor but there is just a bit too much of the sky above the storm clouds that I think detract from the image some. I recommend trying a pano crop to emphasize the storm clouds a bit more.

Mac,

I am going to make the same recommendation I made in the previous post, lose some sky. In this case the clearing blue sky at the top - come to just below the beginning of the blue. The mean look of the storm cloud is the show in this image and this will accentuate it.

I agee with those who suggested a crop. Here it is. How do you like it?

I agree, much stronger image. The storm clouds really dominate now - as they should.

Hi Wheeler,
Definitely an improvement in the re-post......as mentioned above......the blue was kind of out of place with the mood. I would recommend adding a sliver more back in the sky though.....so the top white cloud is totally there.....has a nice curve. Nice job with the lighting and the rolling hills leading through the frame. Well done!
