A heavy storm moved through our area a few days ago. Tornado sighting and hail in some places. This is the remnant of the storm as it moved away. I appreciate all comments and critiques.

Lots of drama in the sky here. I do find myself wanting to see more of the rainbows.

It's all about the dramatic weather and resulting look of the sky here, Richard. Maybe a little more land, but overall, it being so dark this works as is just as a baseline at the bottom with the trees in the distant BG..Rainbows are a real plus to the drama too. :cool:

Nice storm pic, Richard! yeah, ideally the bow would be a little more in the frame, but i know how tough these shots are to compose, and this largely works for me. :wavey:

Impressive storm clouds, Richard, and the rainbows add a very cool look to this. Very dramatic!

I loose some of the impact of the rainbow with the addition of the upper part of sky. Crop to just above the central large cloud and I think the image is improved, as long as a horizontal image doesn't bother you.
