Storm clouds covering the sky. When I looked up it was like a large dark bird slowly drifting over.

Hi from the Critique Club,

You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.

I love storms and the dark clouds, so dramatic. You read the challenge description and you are using light in a way to make a dramatic photo.

Unfortunetly, the focus is off. Try as fast shutter speed. I like the blown out piece of the shy i think it gives it definition. in post processing, try using shadows and highlights , exposure, to bring the contrast into proper contention.

I love cloud shots but you've not quite nailed the exposure properly here - the highlights are blown out and you've lost a lot of detail by bumping up the contrast. Dramatic skies are great though - never the same, always beautiful.
