You don't always have to be crazy with curves to get results. They are so powerful that even limited and controlled manipulation can result in significantly improved pictures.

Original...


Some cropping, cloning and following curve adjustments..

I like the warmth of the bottom of the picture and the coolness of the top part. Almost like you can feel the sun's raidance through the clouds.

Very nice.

I agree with this. It's really neat how the slightest adjustment brings out the blue and white detail in the clouds

That's nice! I'm a sucker for a dramatic cloud shot.

how you got those colours is really amazing and gives it a real dramatic feel. but i think that the cropping has hurt what could have been a very puncy photo considering the final colour of the sky.

just my 2c

The silhoutte of the ground area was not adding anything to picture, if anything it was just a distraction and in my opinion only sky area of the picture is a better crop.
Thanks for the comments.
