Yes mammatus clouds do portend an impending storm, an amazing and rare phenemenon.
That small speck of cirrus within the mammatus cloud cover looks kind of odd
Reuben Chircop
its a good shot and the lighting is ok, I do see some level of sharpness. However it is a balanced shot.
Pauline Jones
The sea and clouds look almost like a painting.

They didn’t have those kind of clouds when I was a boy. Very cool looking.

great capture!

It was takien at Candle Lake Saskatchewan. Also, the muddy looking horizon is the result of the smoke from a forest fire that was burning to the south-west of the lake.

Beautiful shot. Strong contrast between the serene and the impending “doom”!
Albert @ ART OF PHOTOGRAPHY
WOW! This is one of the most beautiful and fantastic images I had ever encountered!
Anurag
Yes, Jamie, I do believe that speck is a distraction and if you are open to changing content in Photoshop then removing the speck of cirrus cloud would help the image

This is a wonderful sky. Love it! I would have cloned out the strange white spots in the lower middle of the sky though. Composition is great.
