Hi Josep & welcome to TE!

Loads of great color and texture in this sky. You clearly have an eye for the drama and beauty that nature brings. The blue and red tones go great together and I particularly love the rim lighting on the largest clouds. I think what keeps this one form reeling in the points is the prominent dark area on the bottom and left. Shadowy areas can be used quite effectively but this seems to leave the viewer slightly cheated, wanting to see more. Sometimes you can lighten shadows in post-processing but I tried a workshop on this one and it is just a bit too dark. You might want to look into using something called a graduated neutral density filter to even out exposure on high contrast images such as this. I'm going to assume you know what graduated filters are but let me know if more explanation is in order. It is also possible to take multiple exposures of a scene and combine later. Let me know if you're interested in learning about that as well. I hope this is helpful.

Wishing you great light and more skies like this one!

Cheers!

Bob G.
