Might try for a third version. Combine your less processed foreground with the more processed storm clouds.

I would tone down the clouds slightly.

I feel your pain. ;-P Her version is overprocessed, but I think most
folks (not from the PDML) would prefer the vivid look of her version.
The use of PS has shifted tastes in that direction.

Subject: The difference in Post Processing

My friend Candice saw the night lightning shots I got about a month
ago and told me to give her a copy of the raw files.
Here's the difference between my quick and dirty in lightroom, and
someone who knows what she's doing in photoshop:
