Interested in your feedback to help me improve my landscape and processing skills.
Thank you.

Improved overexposed sky and reduced overall brightness of image.

Nice composition, and I like the colors of the fore- and mid-ground. Not sure if I like the sky though: it seems overprocessed, and the jump in luminosity from the blown out areas above the clouds to the darker underside seems extreme. Not saying that this not how it looked in life -- reality can be pretty extreme sometimes! Just that, one way or another, it comes out as wrong.

Hey Lonnie,

Well, I like what you have here. For me, the sky looks great and I like the overall view of this one.

You either planned well, or lucked out by having a nice pond to retain the natural beauty of a landscape. Sometimes we see storm shots and since they are so hard to catch, they might be lightning over a highway, or a bunch of houses. It's not an extreme "Approaching Storm" by any means, but a fairly realistic photograph of one. I see clouds like that often, and they can be totally black on the underside and brilliant white on top depending on the sun hitting them. Nice photograph overall!
