Paul,
Posting the techs would assist in critiques. I do feel that this image is somewhat over saturated. The most immediate impression I have when I first look at an image is whether it is "believable". What I mean by that is whether the colors really were as depicted in the image. I realize that some landscape shots are as vivid as the image portrays. In lots of other cases, just the opposite is true. I think photographers sometimes boost the saturation in an attempt to give their images more impact. I do like the tree silhouette and the layered clouds.

Hi Jerry, thanks for your feedback, this photo was saturated a bit but not to much, it was taken after a storm and I only adjusted the color to what it looked like in person. the colors were pretty much the way they were. After storms here in Queensland, the colors in the sky do get very vivid.

Gorgeous cloudscape. Could maybe see trying to pull a bit more texture out of the dark tones at the bottom.
