Lovely sky and clouds for sure. I think I'd bring up the bright a bit more to really give those glorious clouds more punch. Good luck!!

IR? I like it because there is a lot of different things contrasted here. Color is obvious, but also the smaller clouds in the foreground contrast with the larger clouds behind. The mountains in the foreground contrast with their cousins in the background and they have a peaceful feeling that contrasts with the turbulent sky. Nicely done.

I'm starting to find that good landscape shots also have a foreground subject. The feel is nice though. 7
