Not at all.
The inclusion of the trees (a farm?) gives this monster an excellent sense of scale and wouldn't have worked nearly as well without them. You might consider burning down the brightest part of the cloud near top center just a bit as it grabs my eye more than it should. Great catch, David!
The clouds look beautiful here. I think it works quite well in B&W. If this was a color, I would probably guess it would be too much, but in B&W it adds the right drama.
It still mystifies me that Keanu Reeves has never won an Oscar...what a talent!
David, this is an amazing shot. If there were some detail in the white area of the cloud it would be nice but I think burning it down would tend to flatten out the whole image. I like it a lot the way it is.

Spectacular image, David. I think the cloud works the way it is, but did you consider lightening the ground just a slight bit to add some detail to that part of the image?

Thank you all! John, I did bring down the bright white area initially but I felt it lost some depth in the process so I left it bright
