Definitely not one for the warm and fuzzy category.
Critique welcome.

Interesting concept. I assume it is raining? However, the composition doesn't seem to be grounded, pardon the pun. That is, the foreground is sorely missing and feels abruptly cut-off. The dead-center placement of the cloud does not help either (it would work just fine, however, had it been a square composition with more foreground).

Thanks for the second set of eyes Slobodan.  In this session I took a number of shots with truncated foregrounds trying to. concentrate on patterns near the horizon because that is where the action was.  It does leave you wanting more in the foreground but when I when I included the foreground it actually felt like a distraction.   Interestig idea on the sqare crop.
