I like the feel of this. The pp suits the mood of the photo nicely. Well done!

I really like the coloring of this image, overall it is a great picture. I did look at it on your Flickr though, and at large size I am not liking the blur you get around the edge of the photos, especially in the corners. I'm not sure if that's your lens, or you deliberately added that?

I think you went too crazy with HDR on this, as well as the shot is lacking a good subject.

Really like it. Great PP. something bugs me about the road on the left. Not sure if I want to see more of it or less of it

I would have liked to get more of the road, but there's houses on that side and there were cars parked on the street. I agree with Numenorean that its missing a good anchor, but what to do; there's nothing there and the clouds were happening ...

What to do? Find a good subject or don't take a shot. If you take the shot you have a snapshot. It may be a snapshot with nice clouds, but you can't even tell if the clouds were nice or not after the processing has been done. I guess if you're fine with having a snapshot then go ahead and take it.

I thought I had captured a pretty good snap of post-thunderstorm clouds breaking up, but now I'm hearing that I took a shot without a distinct subject, and the clouds that I did take a picture of, are not nice/interesting. Well, that bums me out :confused:

I think a [well done] zombie up close to the left of the frame looking right into the camera would have really added a nice touch ;)

The clouds don't look like clouds anymore due to the overprocessing of the image. What was your subject intended to be? If it's the clouds, you've got half the image taken by other stuff which is not your subject and doesn't add any interest to the photo.

I like the PP and the subject, just wish the road was running up into it, rather than a small part on the side.
