Default Watching over a stormy valley

Photographers Comments
Wanted to get a heavy overcast look from this storm that was passing over at the head of a South Wales valley. I processed it to accentuate the silhouette effect, with near black at bottom and for the tree, gradually lightening to the valley floor and main sky.

Really nice and moody, but i think it would have been better to keep just a little bit of detail in the foreground and tree

Very, very, effective. Great work on a well thought out shot. The lighting and shadows on this work brilliantly for me. Just got to keep looking and then coming back and having another look. Its much better after a couple of views. Love the detail in the clouds. I think this would work equally well if the opposite was applied i.e. shadows in BG.
Cheers
