I really like this picture! I'm a big fan of tormented atmospheres and dark edits like in your picture.

The day was cloudy but actually pretty bright. I changed the mood in editing. I am glad you like it!

Thank you! The unedited picture was a cloudy day but much brighter. I changed the mood to darker in editing. I am glad you like it.

Clouds make drama! Good composition.

Indeed, there is nothing particularly noteworthy about the original file. Well done for the dramatic editing of this photo Snook911.
It's not the reality of the moment anymore? So what! Photography doesn't have to show only reality.
