Pedestrian bridge over Iron Horse Trail in Walnut Creek, CA. I drive under this everyday and decided to stop last week. Too bad it was overcast and started to rain about 15 minutes after this shot. Added the color effect in Lightroom trying to neutralize the dull overcast sky:

I have driven under that same bridge many times!

I like the picture. The clouds really add some drama to the picture.

I like the lines. The clouds look good! Without them the sky would be uninteresting. I like the conversion. My only critique is the top left corner: it seems to dark, I would dodge it a bit.

I have to agree the clouds do add something to it, but the dark spot only makes me think of something dark and sinister is coming.,

Thanks! I was actually dissapointed with the weather when I took the shot because I was hoping for some nice sky/cloud cover. I don't get a chance to take pictures very often so I thought I squandered the opportunity. But after the conversion I think this turned out better.
