Is it the end of the world???
I agree with Mary Anne about that black cloud but since that BH is essential to the image, i'm not sure...
Anyhow i still like it!!!

I love the colors of the stormy clouds.... it looks mysterious :) Nice mood shot.

Your take on it is all that matters RK, I can see what you & CJ mean as you need a bright part as a source for the illumination. I'm not saying to get rid of the brightness just to give the brightness some colour as pure white tries to drag the eye to it. The look I'm talking about you can see in the thumbnail for this shot as it's so small the brightness seems to have some yellow colour not a pure white. No big deal though as the shot still works for me as is:-)

Very dramatic sky! And that highlight makes me feel that the sun is about to burst through those dark clouds. Very nice :-) CJ

Thanks Rod. Thought about subduing the BH...decided against it..feel that that BH in this case works for the picture...just my take on it.

Yes awesome looking sky & colours. I would try & put a bit of subtle colour in the blown highlight top center just to turn it from white to a very bright yellow. Or maybe clone some of the sky just on the left of it into the white. Lovely shot though.

Thanks Mary Anne and Carrhighlander.
The dark band on top is actually storm clouds.

Wow what a sky! I agree with Mary Anne that black band is off putting.

Gorgeous! I love the color and the dramatic clouds, but I'm not so sure about the dark band across the top.
