This is not a planned shot. Always carry a camera with you. An hour earlier it was gray ...

Very moody. Very nice.

Nice asymmetry and tricky use of underexposure to keep the clouds from blowing out. I like it.

Very good use of oppurtunity

I'd prolly crop a bit on the bottom (I know there are leading lines, but IMHO they are not helping) and to the right. A wee bit of work on the clouds would take this image to the next level. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your comment. Please, suggest how to change clouds.

Selective contrast curve applied to the darker clouds might bring out the texture in them; do note that doing so will also bring out the noise - which may need to be tamed. Noise suppression IMHO again needs to be applied selectively so that the details in the other elements of the image are not harmed.

On another note, is the picture slightly tilted to the left ? or is it just me :-/

Looking forward to see the result of your exercise

Great atmospheric capture, dark and brooding

I like the this image. Like the cropping a little from the bottom suggestion too. Simplifies the lines a bit.

At your suggestion, I have cropped and brightened this photo.

Nice! Hope you have made a nice print of it. Definitely worth the effort to be on display.

Beautiful photograph, deserves to be framed!

According to color theory, green does not work well with blue and pink.
Therefore, I would reduce its amount by cutting off from the bottom

You can also crop on top. This will remove the ugly, dirty color of the clouds and get something like a panorama.
