Fantastic sky, really like the highlights and shadows in it. Would have like to see the foreground a little more contrasty and maybe cropped just a touch higher. More shadows and highlights in the mountains as well would have made this really stunning in my opinion. Its not everyday you see such a dramatic sky.

I like the lighting in the clouds and nice sharp focus. Would perhaps be stronger with a foreground subject (i.e. one tree)

The clouds are wonderful but the composition as a whole is very busy.
