 A very large menacing cloud that had cool twilight shadows streaking through it. This particular storm had generated enough interest from the weather office to warrant a tornado alert. True to the prediction, it ended up spawning a tornado 60 miles east of this photo's location. There have been many times which I've seen these shadow streaks and thought this event may be a suitable choice for this challenge. I hope you all enjoy.

Some really strong lines in the clouds that seem to lead the eye towards the comparatively sharp edge of the cloud on the lower right.

Interesting cloud formation. Great colors and contrast. I honestly don't see leading lines as the compositional technique in this image.
