This was an outtake of an image I submitted in a Free Study in May. It wasnt a busy year for me in 2008 since I began to focus on my novels, and so this is probably one of my best shots of the year.
PP details:
Curves raised on bottom half of the photo, as well as desaturating the bottom half about 75%, I then raised the Contrast a tiny bit along with the overall saturation in the sky only. I then brightened the highlights a bit more and burned the orange parts of the sky. After placing a thin Black border and 2 doses of Unsharp mask, I saved it after a 15% crop at about 197KB. @maximum quality.

It has alot of impact, I am a big fan of dramatic skies and think you did well with that. I may have cropped it a little higher to have just the grass in silhouette giving more attention to the sky than lower in the frame but that's just one opinion anyway gave it a 7 in voting and overall liked the image.
