I think the comp is very effective in isolating the spectacular forms and colors in the sky, while also retaining just the right amount of detail to relate it to the setting. Having said that, I am one of those people who always wants to see more, so I wonder if what's just to the right of the clouds that are cut off. If the space on the right was less attractive or distracting, then this is perfect. I'll never know, so I guess wondering just makes it all the more interesting.
I do have a horizontal shot of this scene.
Then I lose the vertical cloud.
I should have had my Nikkon 14-24 but didn't. Nice lens but heavy.
But........ I did not have to carry it very far, right. So dumb is as dumb does.
The 14mm angle should would have quelled you appetite... I think.
