Some look very nice ( in particular the two larger in the top left )
Others look rather blob like... Maybe just oddly shaped...

The edges look good, but the interior has some unreal splotches. 
Perhaps you could make them smoother, or avoid it by making whiter
clouds.

Did you say your system clock sets itself back a day late when you reboot?

I think it could potentially look a lot better. IMHO the change here is too
sudden and the shading does not seem to be consistent; the clouds in front have
bright parts visible while clouds at the back-right do not. Of course 9/10 of
POVing is fiddling with parameters.

Burma!


Isn't it time for it to explode?

You can't escape my logic!


And now for something completely different...

Umm... can't say that I have ;-)
I guess things like this vary a lot geographically and it's just a matter of
what you're used to seeing.
