My only problem with this image is the blown-out sky just above the horizon. This is probably a scene that would have benefited from HDR. While the bright horizon does help create a "starker" contrast to the storm clouds I find it to be a little distracting. You also have what looks like a couple of dirt spots (lens or sensor) one in the upper left and one in the upper right.

Thank you for viewing.The sun was on the verge of peeking below the big cloud and it created that blow-out I could not fix in PP;maybe HDR could have helped,but this is not in my skills basket so I went B/W thinking it might help with the posted results.I enclose  a color version of a sister shot....same problem,but it was a good sky.
I know of these two spots on my sensor and usually fix in PP,but I missed them on this image.

I have looked at this image a couple of more times and while I do think it would be stronger with more detail (I appreciate you working within you skill set) it does work quite well as is.  You could even make an argument that with the contrast of the scene and the strength of the clouds it works best this way.  Very good image and I hope you didn't get rained on too hard :-)  Take care

Thank you for looking this one over again.However good a sky this is,I must acknowledge that the final image is not as good as the sky.I had fun seizing it and managed that without getting wet....and there will be plenty more of these coming up in our approaching autumn.

Meilleures salutations-Laurent
