Those are great clouds. Try a histogram adjustment to bring a greater range of tones into the clouds, brightening the highlights and darkening the lower tones - that'll make them even more dramatic.
Beautiful shots. They seem a tad slanted, especially on the first one, so you might want to adjust that. Also, the colors could use a boost, definately some nice bold colors you could use.
clouds are always interesting and a gd subject to be photograph; however, clouds, especially on a sunny day, fool most camera's light meter, so may b bracket it and use histogram as chunk said. Also, watch out for level of the camera, both shots seems to slanted to the left. btw, if u have a polorizer, it gives a more dramatic effect by darkening the sky, make the clouds pop up more clearly, and increase the contrast.
The second one is stronger IMO due to the tree line, gives a sense of scale and grounds the image. Color seems a bit off (too magenta?), and I agree about the levels or curves advice. If you need help with levels, check out Almo's post in Viewfinder on the subject, basic but gets the point across.
Cool, but probably need something mor ein the way of colors or really unusual formations -- these aren't pictures I would normally give a second look to, but maybe that's just me.
