Good focus and a beautiful blue ski and the clouds do add to the picture. I think it would have been better if you would of cropped the left side to only include about 2/3 of the diameter of the palm tree and rotate your crop so that the three would of be vertical not leaning.
This is interesting but I'm not sure why. The color and the composition are 'eye stopping.' That is one measure of a photo's abillty to have an impact on the viewer - and this one has it.
I like this picture, as the background colour is so vibrant and one can almost feel the texture of the trunk. I do have to say, however, that I feel that the tree trunk is a shade too strongly lit.
