I'm with Wal, the sky looks great but the bottom is too much of a black hole. You could crop off most of it, I think it'll improve.

I was just about to disagree with the previous 2 posters; you have the perfect amount of foreground. Then I checked back and saw you had re-cropped in response to their posts.

Great shot. I love the clouds, the color, the diagonal lines, and just the right foreground to set it off.

As it is now, I think the grass in the foreground makes this picture. Well done.
