I like it, though, for it's strong composition. Quite the spectacular sky - it would have made a good PUG from Clouds month (if you had the shot then).
cheers, frank

I like the composition, but it is oversharpened rather a lot, and makes the cloud more blown out than it needs to be. I would really like to see what this one looks like with less sharpening. A detail that I like is the highlights on the bottom left, as a counterpoint of sorts to the opposite corner. The picture has some nice lines and texture to die for. The Mackie line between the trees and sky is really distracting. I think less sharpening would soften this to the point it was no longer an issue. If you shoot stuff like this a lot, you might want to consider dumping colour in favour of black and white, and small format for medium or larger format. And film. This scene type dies in digital.
