I would not have thought of using the selective desat for this. Cool and unique effect.

It's interesting that you chose f2.8, a close focus point, and got this much DOF as well. You must have been shooting in twilight, or using a lot of ND filter to go 2 sec @ f2.8 and not over expose.
The long low white cloud looks like a tidal wave coming ashore. Pretty, but spooky too.

Lovely light, and I like the smoothness of the color in the sky in this.

It's a lovely big view. I like the shadows of the clouds on the water.

That impressive cloud cover does a lot for this one. I like the huge DOF too. We call those cacti "prickly pear" here, and the local Mexican Americans like to cook and eat them.

I like the way the sky and mountains blend in this one.

Every Cloud has a Silver Liner (old pilot saying)

Very stormy. Having the aircraft in the center gives it a focal point. It's a little detail that is not visible in the thumbnail.
I feel that including a horizon line would have improved the image a little, but maybe what was there would detract from the simplicity of the minimal effect with just the airplane to anchor the shot.

Love the "mare's tails", and the lanky palms compliment them nicely. Even the background behind the palms cooperated to accentuate the trunks because of you using a low point of view. B&W is good for this too, because the interplay of shapes and light and dark are what makes the shot.

That's fascinating! It's good that you had the 10-20 with you when this occurred, and that you knew what settings to use to capture it so nicely.
I just noticed that I had already commented on this. It's interesting that my reaction was the same as before.
