Just before the rain

Drove the scouts to their campsite this evening and thought I would have enough time to snap some pics before the sun went down. Who knew the sun was setting so early these days? When did that happen? Driving around frantically trying to get a view of the sunset, and finally accepted that wasn't going to happen this evening. But this bank of clouds kept calling my name, so stopped on the side of the road and grabbed this pic. First photo on the new iphone. (Yes, we got ours today thanks to dh getting up at 3 am last week to get them ordered.) Not at all sure how to use all the cool features that are supposed to be there, but I'll figure it out soon enough. The colors in the clouds are definitely well represented.

Update: When I look at it on the big screen (monitor), seems like a few hgvibghtbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb (well.... that's too funny ... Kitty, get off the keyboard!!!) As I was saying, a few of those highlights should probably be turned down.
I still have a flip phone. So good luck. This however, is a fabulous picture.

@lyndemc Thanks Denise! I was using the real keyboard and she had stepped on the laptop keyboard. I yanked my hands away and couldn't figure out what was happening! I had to laugh!

Ashley, I like this composition a lot. I don't think the highlights are too high. But, I think that the contrast is a little low. Nice shot though.

@adambralston Thanks Adam! Maybe that's what's bugging me. I'll go play with that and see what it does.
