Underexposed by a stop or something because it was late in the evening (about 21h I would say during summer time, to the eye it is pretty light but for the camera it was already dark). So if I try to pull out detail the image becomes one big grey blob.

I'm very pleased with how well the scans of my slides turn out (scanning with an epson V500 flatbed scanner). But the exposure has to be right on the slide to make a good shot, there is little or no recovery to be done based upon the digital image itself.

The forground seem to be a little dark. Didn't see the meta data if this was a digitalor film. But if it is digital the detail might be there and pulled out would be stunning!

I was driving down a highway with no rest stops insight, and the storm was moving pretty fast as well. You can see some reflections in the grassy part of the picture from my car window.

I licensed the picture already to a guy in switzerland. He wanted to use it for a cover CD with gospels. I though o well... no I have my flickr account for free the next 4 years.

Cows drool over your gear for sure and they have a horribly bad breath... So go for it but take some cleaning gear with you for your drooled upon and licked lenses.

Love the way the sand extends so far into the pic... and then the details of the water reflection, the sparse people, the kite and the grasses help fill in the rest of the pic. Gorgeous.

I think that your picture would be stronger if you crop the sky. You can have a look to a similar one that I have taken cliking on "about".
