Dramatic. I feel the forced vignetting adds to the drama. I don't know if this was intentional, but the cloud shapes towards the edge of the image look painterly, almost geometric, not photographic. To me this adds a tension to the image; adding to the drama.
On 1-3, oof replied... "Would be astounding as a high-tone B/W." I reprocessed the original color DNG file using Silver Efex Pro-2, for a comparison of the color to the B/W. In retrospect, I do prefer the B/W image. Thanks to oof for the suggestion!
Thanks again oof. I'm still understanding the workings of Silver Efex. I've found if one pushes selective area adjustments too extreme, the image begins to degrade quickly, especially high-contrast edges.
