A simple scene of the scenery along a trail in Arches N.P. with a looming thunderhead passing behind.

They get some really nice sky there, great capture.

I get what Jim is saying, but I think this works well. The light in the sky is really nice and the ground holds together well, with the rocks framing on both sides.

That is a really cool storm as a background Alan. I am not really sold on that path being on the edge of a frame. For me, paths should pull the eye through a frame, when it's on the edge it feels like it's cutting off the frame. Maybe it's just me.
Thanks for the feedback. I liked the storm and the contrasts to the bare tree but was stuck with the path. This angle on the path turned out to be my best place to shoot to not end up with people in the frame. I had to wait to shoot several times to avoid groups of people heading in and out of the parking area for Delicate Arch.

Excellent! The contrasts between storm and the land works beautifully!

I initially had the same little nit about the path as Jim mentioned, but after reading Kyle's input and your rationale for framing it like this, I totally agree this approach was the way to go and resulted in a very nice image!
That storm light really energizes the colors and creates some excitement. Can almost smell the rain...

I think this was the Delicate Arch trail.
