Is it still too bright?

[nanbil]

I have already burned the blowout area to 'dim' it a bit. My concern is it still too bright?



ExposureTime : 1/60Sec
FNumber : F4.5
ISOSpeedRatings : 100
ExposureBiasValue : EV0.5
FocalLength(35mm) : 49(mm)

The idea is really awesome, but I dont know.I dont feel anything when I look at this pic.
I dunno, but In my opinion there is too much difference of color and sharpness.

I have no problem with the bright area. But -- the rest of the image is VERY grey. So much so that it overpowers the bright area!

Options: You could crop closer, but I think that the best option is to curve/level it up until the grey clouds show some more contrast. That would probably add a lot more interest, and make the image feel less like a wash of grey.
