Impressive constellation.
However, for me it's over cooked on the contrasts and colors.
Congratulations!

For a more vibrant version of this image see http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/3309963525/photos/2234623/p9100411-dpv2-crowning-glory. It also helps if the browser Safari is used.
The cloud on top is called a lenticular cloud and the one below is a cumulonimbus.

For a more saturated version of the same photo see http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/3309963525/photos/2234623/p9100411-dpv2-crowning-glory. Safari browser does show the colors better than other browsers e.g. Google Chrome. The cloud on top is called a lenticular cloud and the one below is a cumulonimbus cloud.
