Caught this cloud from my roof earlier. I know the composition isn't great or anything and the immediate scenery is ugly, but I knew the colors were going to fade quickly so I had to snap the pictures quickly, so my roof was the best option. At any rate thought it was an impressive cloud, big super cell thunderhead. I took 3 exposures bracketed and then I made an HDR and a Exposure Blend separately and combined them in PS.

I actually like the 'ugly' scenery. It adds a bit of real time contrast i think!
wicked picture! [thumbup]

Great picture, I like the "icky" building in the foreground, it adds contrast.

On a critical side, it looks like the picture is too over-saturated. The orange in the cloud kind of looks fake. Instead of increasing the saturation, try using a warming filter in photoshop to achieve a more natural effect.
