The clouds and the house

I recently photographed this cloud formation over a house, during which the Sun was hiding but its rays were visible:

 This is the picture in its normal - albeit cropped - form.

Now this is it through an HDR filter. The rays are much more visible through the filter.

The Retrolux filter provides the image with an "aged" feel; however, it's fairly neutral with regards to what emotions it evokes.

By contrast, the black-and-white filter shrouds the picture with a menacing quality.

Do you have a favourite?
