Default What do I do with this?

So, took this shot as I thought the cloud formation looked great, smoke signals/ thought bubble etc, bit different.

Aside from the dirt spots, what do you all think it needs doing to it to bring it out?
Ok, end of the day, bit of a boring shot but a good experiment for using photoshop for me and to pick your brains!

A bit too dark mate, but those are some wonderful clouds!

Not sure about mono but you've captured alot of detail on one cloud it only really needs itself to work

Hmm, yeah. Have been some amazing clouds, would be good to do something with them as you say. There was this one also. Just adjusted levels in Photoshop.

Maybe you've gone slightly too far with the levels, try to desaturate a bit but still keep the contrast quite high!

Oh and I forgot to say- nice shots

Play with levels and the channel mixer too.

I would probably look at cropping the image down to remove the roof in the foreground. It's not quite parallel is it... would have been a real bonus if it had.
