Very ominous - great catch of the sky! I find myself wishing the foreground/landscape was either completely dark and silhouetted, or a little lighter to make out the detail. My instinct after pondering the sky was to look at the ground and see what was about to be clobbered by the storm, but the details are hard to make out.

Thanks for sharing! I hope you avoided the aftermath

dlmphoto,

Cloud diagonal, big tree/small tree conspire to pull you in and out at bottom right. Experiment with a mirror held to left or right side of this, see if it doesn't hold your view better, longer.

Great Plumes Of Clouds! with the awesome tree in focus too, I love this. Boy! this is really rookie but...I don't get f/ stops, DOF out of my point&shoot-lol

I love the sky but think the foreground could have been more in focus or less motion blur.
Did you hand hold this?
I think a tripod might have helped but since the focus was on the sky I think I overlook the foreground a bit. I might add some blur to the foreground to make it look more on purpose.
