Hi Dave, A very beautiful image with magical lighting. You left just enough silouette along with great detail in the clouds. The storms on both sides of the image adds great drama and interest. I was considering cropping some of the top but felt it's fine as is. You caught a great moment in time!

Really great image you have here well done. I would crop off the top. Just above the main cloud. Well done on this

Hey Dave,
Very good advice given above on the crop. In the repost, I tried to bring out as much detail as I could in the clouds.....a few selective levels layers.....a bit of S/H and adding some selective colr to the neutrals and black channel.....voila.....more depth to the clouds and a bit more red in the red rain clouds. Let me know your thoughts on the tweaks. Very nice capture of a dramatic scene!

Image is very well seen. I like the repost better as it seems t pop more. It also adds emphasis on the rain in your title.
