Default my try at "making a planet" how did i do?

this was an old photo so i don't have the EXIF and i tried to make it into my own little planet. how did it do? is the post distracting or does it add to the image? should i crop it tighter to make the planet seem bigger?

This is super cute I thought it was the Seattle TV tower first after looking at the thumbnail - that was wrong!
I like it, but I'm having trouble guessing what the original looked like I feel like blue sky needs more saturation, it's near gray now.. I really like the crop though, and the white lines in the sky.

How did you do it?

For me, the post is distracting since we can't see the whole thing and it's dominating so much of the frame. I like to see whole objects to get the little planet effect. But sometimes when you're that close to the object and it's that tall, it can be hard to get it in some kind of proportion that works with the planet portion of the image.

If I've got too much going on overhead, sometimes that's when I'll move to a mirrorball or polar remapping, instead of a stereographic one.
