saturated landmark, part deux

Two weeks ago, I went to Screen on the Green on the National Mall. The weather was threatening off in the distance. Strange looking clouds enveloped the Washington Monument. In trying to catch some lightning, I got this shot, played with the saturation, and this came out. Too much digital noise to make a great large print, but on a small scale, what do you think?

I started playing around with the saturation levels in Picasa with this print. I think it made it look more cohesive. The reds of the Golden Gate were lost in the photo until I abused the rest of the frame. I kind of like it, though. Has a watercolor feel to it now.
