This was taken at Folly Beach -my closest. I liked the clouds and played with it way too much in post processing but I liked the result enough to keep and share.

P.S. The Palm is not straight in the photo or in reality.

Way over processed and blown highlights. Worth another try, though. I hope you saved the original?

Dan, I really like the intimidating clouds and the sunset? colors. I do agree about toning it down a bit....mostly would concentrate on toning down the saturation and as Phil suggested the highlights...they look clipped on my monitor. But would definitely re-work this. Those clouds deserve a re-work!

Dan,
I like the palms silhouette against this dramatic sky. I agree with Phil and Kurt to tone down a bit the saturation and the high lights. Nice entry.

The rich colors in the sky are eye-catching, but the blown highlights are a major distraction. I love the incredible detail in those clouds - and I think the image could be really beautiful with a lighter touch in processing. I absolutely love the little details along the bottom edge.
