Sorry for piggybacking Dave's recent excellent post, but I couldn't resist.  :)

Spectacular clouds.
I like the choice to photographically render the scene similar to the way film would have seen it... without apparent use of the highlight and shadow recovery 'tricks' that digital allows and that one is always tempted to employ.

Keith, thank you for commenting.  Glad you like it.

I don't think I have the editing skill to use the "tricks" without making the image look unnatural.  So, I used the cloud in the center as a kind of "spot ND filter" to reduce the extreme brightness of the sun.
