40D EF-S 17-85 lens at 17mm. ISO 200, Av, 1/200sec at f/18.

But nice subject.

I'm thinking you might mean that the ground's darkness at one end of the image doesn't balance the clouds' extreme brightness at the opposite end of the image? Therefore the over all image is not balanced?

Same here, I like the idea but maybe if the clouds were a little further left which would make more sunlight, balancing it then it would be even better, but its still very nice!
