Cool view of a typical spring storm. Just the colors and cloud formations bring a sense of urgency to find cover.
Obvious tripod use: Medium-high. With the time of day, I assume you needed a long shutter. But the uncertainty comes from the foliage being so sharp. With clouds like those I suspect it's windy, so I'm surprised a long shutter isn't showing a bunch of bluriness.
Obvious use of a tripod, or any other long-term stabilization tool (1-10 *is not the score of the shot though*): 3
Not enough blur in the clouds to show a longer exposure. Overall, it seems a bit underexposed.
