Thanks for the comments and votes. I spent a couple of hours parked in the country during this storm. This was taken about 5 minutes before it was directly overhead. In day light you would see cornfields a barn and a few tree lines going up the side of the hill. Probably would have not done too well with that.

An idea here would be to crop with mostly sky and just skimming the horizon to catch its profile..... and also leaving out the radio tower.

Brilliant shot - however tower on left detracts from shot.
