I was out running around in a field and this storm front just had popped up from nowhere and had some great shots. I must have been in the right place at the right time that day.

OK, wow. this is amazing!!!!! Those clouds, okay I will give you your props for those clouds. Can I borrow those clouds for some pics. Us in Cali, we don't get no cool clouds like that. Amazing mucacho (I can't spell)- you win! 10
I love the mood of this. It's great to see an image in this category that stands on its own with or without the topic it represents. This is one of my favorites in this challenge.
Great sky, and almost a fabulous composition: to my mind it really cries out for something image right to balance the composition - presently, absolutely everything (road, toning of sky, tree) pulls the eye to image left, and although the road in one sense pulls the eye back to the right, there's nothing there to hold interest inside the frame. Perhaps it's only that the lighter area of cloud starts so far into frame that they eye hunts for something out to the right. Whatever - it feels unbalanced to my eye. But a great scene, nonetheless. Real power. 8
