I like this color version much better than the black and white. It is quite, quite lovely.

FYI, the comments below were for the original non-post-processed version. The one you see here has been edited with Photoshop.

Wow, seems like you two really liked this color version despite the lack of adjustments to it. I will work on this one and post a better version here and for sale at DPCPrints.

yes , definite more gorgeous than the BW version !! although I still gave you a high score on it but this one would have gone through the roof with a 10+ ...

Comment by MrAkamai:
Thank you to all who left comments for me. As for my choice of b/w vs color, it was fairly easy for me since I really love b/w and I am trying to get back in touch with my photographic roots. While I did debate whether or not to enter b/w or color, the debate did not last long. I will post a color version of this photo later for those that said a color version would have been better.

As for those that voted me a 1, 2 or 3 (and maybe 4), why did you think it was so bad? Did you leave comments for me? If so, please PM me so I can figure out what I did that deserved that score from you. I am not angry but I just want to know what I did that deserved that low score.

Thank you!

PS: Here is the color version although not in it's ideal form and still needs some editing but enough to give you an idea of what it looks like in color.

Great clouds and lighting -- I think I'd lighten the lightest tones a teensy bit more so long as it maintains the stormy mood.

returning for comments.
great effect of these clouds. The eyes do not tire of studying their patterns. great b/w spectacle. Bumping up.
