Wow! "It's been a while" is an understatement: 2.5 year!
Really glad to see you again though, you always did interesting things.
I think your cloud bands are pretty darn effective here. I imagine the high regularity is close to what you saw, it does often happen in nature. Whenever we create such regularity in the computer we tend to be more critical of it and it can look fake, and something about those clouds further in the background on the lower-left just looks a bit too squareish/rectangular and regular to me. But as I said it may well have looked very much like this.
Other than that the clouds look quite good.
I'd personally like to see a bit better balance between sky and ground as that tiny sliver is almost just a big distracting as it is. You could tilt the camera down just slightly, a few degrees, or widen the field of view. But it's a relatively minor quibble.
Overall a great image and cool cloud technique! I hope you post more often.
