Rolling Thunder

Taken on the evening of the 4th of July...I thought we would be rained out for fireworks. But they finally prevailed. I was doing some work in photoshop in my office upstairs when I suddenly happened to look out my window and notice this. Luckily my camera was right there with me. Grabbed it and shot through the window glass and here it be. About 10 minutes later, I captured what I believed to have been a brief funnel dropping out of here. This storm would later move farther out on the Colorado plains and cause tornadoes. I really wanted to try something different as I usually don't do titled in a photo and I was going for a poster style look, as that is how I envision it, in a 24x36 size minimum. Thoughts and comments appreciated. Does it work?

I was actually looking at those same clouds thinking it might make an interesting photo, but wasn't where I could shoot them and I never can figure out how to best compose cloud shots. One heck of a night. Was on the outter edge of a storm near dusk and it was scary looking. Never seen low clouds being pushed around so quickly.
