Down the Road
We have had a lot of rain and storms lately here in the midwest, offering some spectacular clouds. I have only been seriously shooting landscapes for about 2 weeks so it has been a good 2 weeks to learn cloud processing.

STORMY WEATHER (trees)
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.

LUCY IN THE SKY
I just messed about with the photograph of a luscious, large green tree against a nice blue background with the clouds, but I decided that was boring, so this is what I did to it.

INTENTIONAL CAMERA MOVEMENT OR INTENTIONAL BLUR
I'm going to be trying this again because I rather like the outcome of this on my lavender in the garden, which has finished for the summer now, so I couldn't go and do it again.

im assuming the top is the edit, because it is a stormy day try to convey that a bit more by dropping the yellow saturation a stormy day shouldn't feel like a bright sunny day on the ground
If that is straight from the camera, that is spectacular. I really like the second one. My personal taste is a more natural look and would be somewhere halfway between the first and second. Basically I agree with Joseph.
Thank you Joseph and Reed. The bottom one is SOOC. RAW landscape import into LR with a circular polarizer. To me the field seemed a little flat and the road a little under detailed, but I totally agree, I think i added to much punch. Thanks so much for the comments!
