    Ken - very dramatic and vibrant sky. I like the comp too. I might go darker on the fg because here it is all about the great sky.

    Spectacular sky Ken, captured well. saturation looks good and not overdone.

    You could try darkening the FG, maybe even to black but that might introduce too much negative dark space. Something you would have to try.

    I like the inclusion of the trees lower left BG.

    Hey Ken,
    Agree with above comments regarding FG.....I like my silhouettes black so would work in that regard. Very dramatic sky.......reds look pretty good......but i would try pulling back a touch to see if you can eek out a bit more detail/depth in them.....that camera is notorious for pushing the red channell....even if the combined histogram is perfect.....check the red! Easy fix to a very dramtic sky!

    Some epic skys in this part of the worlds at the change of season. I agree with little darker FG but well seen and taken :)
