Quoting Darren Addy <pixelsmi...@gmail.com>:
So here is the image I submitted to the last PUG:

and here it is more like I wanted it, with couple clicks in the
aforementioned Perfect Effects 8

The new version certainly brings out details in the clouds that
dramatically improve the impact of the sky. I'm less happy about the
effect of the post processing on the tree foliage - gives it an
over-sharpened look. Perhaps a bit of judicious layering/masking
could produce the definitive version.
I have a copy of an earlier giveaway - Perfect Effects 4 - that I use
occasionally. It's certainly worth having even if not used regularly.
I've downloaded version 8 but I'll have to wait until I get a 64 bit
OS before I get a chance to use it.
Cheers
Brian

I believe someone may have earlier commented about the horizon not
being level. Guilty as charged, but I think the rotation (and
accompanying crop) loses something. (That "something" is the sweep of
the yellow weeds down the lower right corner, which I think is a big
part of the pleasing composition. It creates an "arrowhead" on the
lower righthand part of the photo that subconsciously directs your eye
into the dark heart of the storm.)
I still really like the monochrome version, in which the clouds look
even better (i think):

Saw this while catching up on PetaPixel.
Haven't tried it yet (download first, try later) but there is a reason
that "FREE" is one of the most powerful words in the English language.
