Pumped up contrast may have helped this - at least for me. :)

Technical: 4 - Lacks contrast, IMO. Something just flat about it.

The sky looks good, dramatic, but overall flat and a bit chaotic in the foreground. With some "extended editing" this could be turned into a 7 or 8. Hope this is helpful.

Like, "WTF did I do to deserve this?" :)

ETA: Just noticed a lot of "nice capture..." comments without a "No pun intended" ;-P
