I think a few people will recognize this from the digital color thread but I know I've improved on it since posting then.
This was taken here in Arizona and I was hoping for lightning but it never happened. That's ok, I still think it's a great shot!
Not much post processing- cloning sensor dust, levels and and a sharpening technique I caught from stdavidson in this thread

You have captured an interesting scene with the subject of your picture seemingly the clouds. The lack of detail and sharpness in the land takes away from the rest of the picture. I have taken pictures like this myself and it is a very difficult one to get due to the differences in lighting conditions. Filters can help.
The sky is extremely impressive. However, the relative lack of clarity and sharpness in the land part of the image and the lack of real distinction in the silhouettes is problematic.
