Default storm aproaching

Was out shooting indian paintbrushes awaiting a storm in hopes of capturing some nice cloud formations. I did succeed but there is something about this shot that keeps making me take a second look.
I found the emerging cloud to be unique and I quickly positioned myself so that the trees would frame the cloud. These clouds were moving pretty fast so I didn't have much time to compose.
I think the sun in the bottom right corner adds a little touch of flare to a rather uninteresting area. Anyone agree?
Does the fact that the trees are more of a silouhette do anything for the picture or are they more like boring black blotches?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
