Intense Clouds Intesified

[FGPhotography]

Here's the before shot:

EXIF Data:
Camera: Nikon D80
Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/320)
Aperture: f/9
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0/6 EV
ISO Speed: 200

And here's the after - Intensified:

I started off by cropping this shot to get the corner of the school bus out of it and then played around with some settings (Exposure, temp, sharpness, etc) in iPhoto, as well as boosted color and what not and after some tweaking I felt satisfied with the outcome
What do you all think?

Given that this is the Before & After section, it would be great if you could provide us with the detail of how you got from the Before to the After shot (FAQs).

It reminds me of water now.

I just included that, sorry! Thank you!

Thats a very good shot, nicely processed and a very good effort!

Thank you, and thank you and thank you very much

What's kind of funny is I took a bunch of pictures of leaves today, and this shot was just kind of a spare of the moment "oh look at those clouds" type of shot, and it ended up being the one I liked most

I like what you have done. You have made evident what impressed you about these clouds.

In the future consider taking a bracketed set of shots. It would give you some additional options like employing HDR tools to really make them pop.
