I wound up with some artifacts around the edges of the very white clouds due to the high contrast. To get rid of them I desaturated the reds, magentas, greens, and slightly desaturated the yellows. Then I applied Auto levels, resized, slight Unsharp Mask, then saved to 150K.

Very nice. I love the diagonal formation of the clouds, and their increasing darkness towards the lower right corner. I feel like the colours are a bit muted, but that may work better in this photo than a really bright blue sky. I like it a lot, nonetheless.
Very nice. Nice and crisp and clear. The lighting is great. I like the light clouds mixed with the dark clouds, and the blue is a great shade. I like how the entire photo is filled with the subject. Great sky-scape. Good luck in the challenge.

composition -- good
technical -- nice range between light and dark, w/out blowouts or loosing detail.
