Storms Brewing - Critique needed

[MommyOf4Boys]

I took a few shots of a storm brewing here. I really like them, but cannot decide if any are worth keeping as is or keeping and tweaking a little..this is where your eyes come in. It is always better viewed from a different angle and my angle is bias because I took them LOL.

Anyway, here they are:

These are good...

Gotto say I like the sharper ones...but im finding theres a...lack of something to really focus on...

Id be interested to see these in Black and White...

[MommyOf4Boys]

I agree with the lack of something to focus on, I just thought the sky looked so cool and wanted to capture it.http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c3/Txspeachfzz/storms1abw.jpg

Mind if I have a few plays with it?

Another b/w attempt...

i like number 2, thats my 2 cent. it's just so crisp and clear from what lil experience i have..

[Mr_Jones]

I like number 2, but I think it would look better as a B/W. Not too contrasty, but enough to get the job done, if you know what I mean.

[Luciano]

nice sky .. I like it
I would like to see something between 1 and 2 ..
2 is too sharpened, i think ..

have a nice day

[KunalShingla]

nice, this works

[Ish]

I also prefer the number 2. I like how the color of the sky and the trees sillhouette blends well. Great effect of the sky, very crisp.

I agree i think they are over sharpened

I think the first one is the best.

are any of these the original un-edited version?

To my mind, your question, Sara, would have qualified a lot better for the Photoshop Challenge Sub-Forum in the Photo Themes... and the replies you are getting here with so many different attempts at doing something about your photos and editing them is exactly what is being expected in that subforum.
I will therefore move this thread over there.
