It's one of those shots that is nice and everything, but there's nothing spectacular about it that makes me stop and really look at it. It's sort've an awkward crop as well.
Try adding some drama to the sky. There's information there, it just needs to be pulled down a bit. Try duplicating the layer, and multiplying it and see what happens.

I like your composition in the image however I feel like the F-stop you shot this image at F3.5 could have certainly been stopped down to F8 - F11 while still being able to hand hold the camera to obtain more depth of field. This would have gotten more of the foreground and background elements in focus here. You may have to increase the ISO to compensate for stopping the lens down but, this could have been acceptable since you where already using a fast shutter speed to obtain the exposer at F3.5. Some noise would have been added to the image but, overall would probably not hurt the image.
