Saturday evening in the Palouse I was driving on those wonderful winding roads when I rounded a corner and came upon this scene out of my drivers side window. I just about put the car in the ditch!! I don't think I took two breathes the whole time I was setting up. It was so quiet I could hear my heat thumping away!

Phil, I saw clouds like this on Saturday late afternoon. However, was sitting in the Les Schwab waiting room getting tires put on my car. The front end was shacking so bad, I could not afford to chance driving home on the same tires.
The clouds that afternoon were the best of the weekend. I was disappointed to have missed them. This is a very nice capture.
Awesome view of the thundercloud over the rolling green fields. I agree with Rick's suggestion. It would emphasize the thunderhead a little more.

Phil, this is quite a shot. I think the most striking thing about this is the shadow in the grass on the near sides of the hill which suggests the cloud is closer than it is. You placed it nicely.
I agree with Ricks Idea of taking some off the top. I'm also wishing for some more drama. It just doesn't look STORMY to me. It is a pretty landscape though.
