Very nice! The sky is awesome but what really anchors the shot is the houses on the ground. They gives this such a scale to show the ominous magnitude of the storm, quite impressive how mother nature can completely dominate when she wants, nicely captured!

There's a lovely correlation here between the barbs of the fence and the ominous nature of those clouds. Excellent use of natural framing.

The light on the buildings and just that little bit along the grasses on the road side of the fence are what make this shot for me. Yes the sky is freakin' awesome, but it's what below it that supports that sky. Does that make sense? In a way, it shows the power and awe of nature and the somewhat insignificance but stubbornness of man. Or I could just be in a strangely philosophical mood. :-)

Holy moly, look at that sky. Awesome. And did you lighten up the scene around the house, or did you catch the light at just the right time? Spectacular shot.

those are some insanely cool clouds - and you captured them so exceptionally

i think my favorite bit of the photo is the house lit to provide a focal point for the ground

excellent use of low key lighting - the fact that we can see such details in your eyelashes and yet the rest is to black shows a great control of exposure
