i like the layers you have captured but the processing seems overdone imho

Wonderfully dramatic sky. Nice HDR effect on the tones.

HDR? Love the textures. Terrific clouds.

Love the clouds and the dramatic colors in these great wide expanse of nature. An added visual bit of interest is those fabulous rays of sunlight shooting through the clouds. My critique and that is that while the clouds are very dramatic and the sway of the tall grasses is in sharp detail, I think the saturation and detail has been bumped up juuuuusssst a tad too much that it looks too over-processed. Lastly, Those really, really dark clouds on the top third of the photo don't do much for the composition overall - it calls attention away from the wonderful light that is cast on the middle clouds - look at the golden outline in the top halves (fabulous play of light!). I would crop those darker clouds out which would give this a more panoramic feel and further strengthen the wide open space of beauty seen here.

Though over-processed, it creates a great mood.
