I like it very much. Clouds are always interesting with these long exposures.
Personally, I would have cropped so as to have less grass.

I had to increase the dehaze a lot to highlight the clouds in this photo. Because it was rainy, and dark , I had to remove the noise in Topaz Denoise

But turned ok

I thing it is wonderful Jack!
If the horizon was lower keeping the green foreground at the same or less proportion as the mountains I think that it would be better. At least this is what I think, as I wasn't there at that moment.
The dark silhouettes of the trees work great in the photo, breaking wonderfully the green and orange reddish pattern of the foreground and mountains. It also nice that you placed them on the one side of the photo.

Thanks panos_adgr . You spotted more details than me. 😂. At the time i wanted to make the photo quick as was raining and windy. I was thinking that the wind will take away my camera. But the photo turned beautiful after the editing.

I agree with what others said, I think I would want to return to the same location and try to a different composition. I like long exposures for clouds for sure, the trees being cut off I find distracting.

Thanks for your comment. It was raining during that day, and I wanted to do it quick. That's why didn't turned very good photo.

Would love to go back definitely, this time maybe for some aerial shots too.

Aerials would be awesome, like an extra large Panorama

Hopefully this summer. I usually fly my mini 3 Pro. But air 2s does give me best images.

I prefer my old Phantom 4 pro vs 2+ , hope to get the Mavic 3 pro soon

I was looking at mavic 3 Pro, but I need to upgrade my camera first. Have enough drones 😅

been there done that...

At the moment happy with my drones. Sometimes I'm thinking I got too much gear, that I have no time to use it all.

Thats why I gave up my Phantom and now am kicking myself in the butt...but i got great studio lights for photography in trade

That's exactly what happens you sell something from you gear, you end up needing it and blaming yourself of selling it.
