Lenticular Clouds at Sunset, Topaz Lake

I don't have time to process my time-lapses at the moment, but it's hard to resist putting a camera out when the weather is this dramatic!  Update: the time-lapse video of this sunset appears in this video: Seasons of Topaz Lake, Nevada

This was shot at Topaz Lake, which lies on the Nevada-California border between Mono Lake and Reno.

People who don't often see weather like this may assume that the photo is "enhanced".  If anything I toned it down.  Here are some of the settings people might manipulate in Adobe Lightroom 5.2 to enhance images, and their values for this result:
Contrast – 0 
Highlights – -36, Shadows +24 (reduces contrast and apparent saturation)
Saturation – 0
Hue, Lightness, Saturation for individual colors – All 0
ISO – As Shot (5700)
Default (Adobe Standard) color map

For another image taken a few minutes before this, I reduced both the orange and blue saturation levels quite a bit.
