Thank you again for all the comments and feedback - much appreciated and I read them all! A lot of requests come in for my tutorial about how I do these shots - you can find it here:

Sun Busting Through Stormclouds at NASA
I was in the Tweetup tent doing something terribly important but completely inscrutable when Stu Maschwitz came in and told me that the storm clouds were breaking upon our shores. So I got my little rig and went outside to see the matter.
We get these kind of huge powerful summer clouds in Texas too. The kind that roll in on a too-hot day and you have a feeling that something powerful is a-comin'. You tie down the cows and take the favorite sheep down to the basement because it's gonna be a long night...
The sun darted in and out of the clouds, and I grabbed it just as it peeked through a small hole it tore in the thunderhead.
