The black and white version evoques a very different emotional response, definitely fits better with the title. One can visualize the sky about to pour...

Especially great to see that it was a masterful B&W image that did it for you, given your commitment to that genre lately. Congratulations. It's a very worthy winner and so are you.

Congrats! I like the colors in the color version but the b/w adds so much by allowing you to concentrate on the wonderful image and not be distracted by all the color. Even with your potentially dangerous settings you did a great job.

Beautiful shot. 9

What a lovely shot and the little use of colour makes it very dramatic. I also like the uncluttered look of the shot. Can't really comment of the techy stuff but it works well for me. Good luck

This probably would have been spectacular in color. Other wise nice pic.

I love it! This is my favourite so far. I don't immediately see anything to suggest for improvement. Less sky perhaps-I'm not sure (which is probably a good sign.)
