Nice collection of layers. I like the bits of light in all the darkness at the top. Looks like all of the "ominosity" (to coin a new word :smile: ) was directly overhead.

Now those are some dark clouds in the top half. . .they do look quite threatening. Interesting to see such a contrast in light in the bottom layer, but even that has an unusual and ominous looking color to it.

I like how under the darkness, you see light breaking through in the distance. Nicely done

Wow, that's some contrast. I like the uniqueness of this, with the dark clouds on top serving as as the foreground!
