I had this in my portfolio for a few days - it had only 45 views by the time I decided I wanted to submit it for the Free Study, so I figured maybe I could get away with it if I took it out of my portfolio - this was going to be for the Landscapes challenge, but I couldn't do what I needed to do in basic editing.
ND4 filter for the sky
I forget what I did in PS
focal length 18.0mm.

Interesting desaturation and darkening, but I'd say the heck with the rule of thirds and crop off a good bit of the black at the top. A little goes a long way with these black clouds.
