Curly from South Shields, United Kingdom
Wonderful processing giving a really special feel to the scene, especially the sky. I'm left wondering how it appears to have two special ingredients that look like static clouds at the back and moving clouds overhead?
A magical combination yet the shutter speed suggests that this cannot be so.
Magnificent image Jules.

@Curly: The effect I assure you is very natural - the static clouds (cumulus) are below 6000ft whereas the the "moving" cloud (cirrus) are above 18000ft and subjected to the jet streams hence the illusion of a long exposure.
