Thanks for the comments on my little yellow flower photo.
Pete, that is stunning. Composition is top-notch, of course. Great energy in the sky. But topping all the good qualities is that beautiful and dramatic light.
Lorell, don't bad-mouth your photo. Not all photos need to be dramatic to be successful, and yours is very, very good. I admire how well you handled the values to avoid blown-out whites. That's not easy to do in a snow scene.
FYI, the presentation I've been using when posting isn't meant to represent how I would have them matted and framed. I feel that the stark white background on our site isn't kind to posted images, especially dark ones. So I use my presentation solely to minimize this effect.
I'm working on one photo that's looking pretty good so far. It's atypical for me: not a flower, succulent or sunrise/sunset. Will probably post it tomorrow.
Until then here is one of two photos of yesterday's sunrise...

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
