I was browsing the Tutorials forum and came across Dave's 2-step-process-get-dramatic-mono-skies. Well this is my attempt - any C&C welcome. And no, they aren't dust bunnies, they're rain drops on the front element which ought to have cloned out.

Raindrops aside it looks pretty good from here! Maybe a little too dark in the FG (that's a big chunk of black) and maybe too 50:50 but the sky comes over well

Here's my "Dave" shot!
Note the BG landscape which kept drawing the eye from the main subject!

Nice Stephen but I think too much vignetting!

I think the vignetting would have worked if not for the tree in FG. Like the mood and the hints of shapes.
