    Nice dramatic scene and cool clouds. I think your clouds are blown is some areas and too dark in other areas. You may be able to save the shadows and blown clouds by setting your black and white points early in your post processing. I may also crop a little off the left to keep that left edge clean. TFS.

    Hi Dan, Nick came up with some good suggestions. If this were mine I would crop down to a bit below the blown white area on the rt.(or keep the blown area on rt if it could be filled in and not be so distracting) Otherwise, the image has impact due to the storm and angry sky. Also a GND might have evened out the exposure...

    That's quite some dramatic sky with those aggressive looking clouds and the rain.
    Might make an interesting pano such as one shown.

    Kaushik, thank you, I like the pano a lot.
    I knew the clouds would get comments here, but it was a backlit sky and hard to do much with.
    My pp skills are not great and I tend to screw up when I tinker with exposure like that.
    I do think the pano is even more dramatic, I appreciate the criticism.

    Hey Dan,
    If you can rework the whites......the OP comp with a little off the bottom will be a nice comp also. I do like the pano idea too.

    My first thought was to crop away about half the water at bottom to give the clouds an even bigger presence and looming appearance. Hope you can save the whites. The pano works well.

    Wow what a storm, like Roman's suggestion of trying to save the whites, but like Roman I also like pano.

    Kaushik did what I was going to suggest as well as just a pano crop off the bottom at the same location as Kaushik's crop.

    Save the whites if you can otherwise eliminate them.
