Naturaleza explosiva parece, buen momento.

Un saludo.

This is a beautiful capture, it looks like an atomic explosion. I turned it to grayscale, played with the levels a bit, converted it back to RGB and added a slight yellow-brownish tone. See if you like it, regards.

Rebecca- nice photo! Interesting cloud formation, good composition, and seems like the right exposure. On my monitor is seems to lack sharpness in the foreground- did you use a tripod? I admit that I like Antonio's tweaked version better, but that is the kind of experience you will gain as you go along... keep shooting! Regards, Keith.

Here is what I would do with the enormous potential of such a photo.

 

crop in close to emphasize the white part

don't make it totally centred, off kilter and different angles and points of view make a good shot like this really jump out

darken it do get rid of the road line.

 

This is just my perspective, but since you asked...

I like your version of this. It looks the most natural IMO. I would crop it though so that it is not right in the middle. Good job. cher.

I'm glad I stopped by and saw this photo. You were definitely in the right place at the right time and composed it nicely. A little tweaking in an editing program would add a little punch ... such as what Antonio posted. Sometimes that's just a personal preference and this looks very nice as is. Good work!
