where you driving down the road when you took this?
The magic of photography is metaphysical. What you see in the photograph isn't what you saw at the time. The real skill of photography is organized visual lying. - Terence Donovan

I was in the car but stopped. I rest my lens on the window. I miss a lot of good shots this time of year by not getting out and setting up my tripod, but it's cold out there!!!

I like it, and I'd like it even more if the foreground was a bit brighter, like if you either used a grad ND filter and upped the exposure at capture or even justdodged it up a bit in post
...and MA I'm getting wise to your way of subtly pointing out a potential issue in an image without actually saying it outright. Ohhh, you are smooth!Now I know what you meant when I was in my eye-candy HDR phase and you would write "sure is vivid"

Bang on critique Imo.I like it, and I'd like it even more if the foreground was a bit brighter, like if you either used a grad ND filter and upped the exposure at capture or even just dodged it up a bit in post
A potential solve might be to crop just slightly below the fences or mid-fence, and work it a bit harder in curves.
Wicked cool cloud formations!
Hope that helps -Marko

Curves would be nice. Windows 7 ate my CS3 so unfortunately I am limited to Lightroom. Thankyou for the comments everyone (even MA) I kind of got it when you posted.Gale

Lightroom has the curves feature (called Tone Curve) and is very effective.
I would also use the recovery feature to regain a little detail in that bright spot as well.

Amazing cloud shot. Never though of using the clouds to hide the sun but I like the affect. Always good to have your camera with you so you can take advantage of what nature can give us.
Thanks for sharing to shot.
