Interesting perspective! My eyes kept jetting from the tree to the branches to the squirres' nest in the branches.

when you're shooting the sky directly, you're best to expose the photo for the sky (which will underexpose the rest of the image) and the bring up the detail on the rest with post processing. once the details are blown out (overexposed), you can't get them back no matter what you do. err on the side of underexposure. This is WAY easier in advanced editing, but can be done with levels and/or curves in software like photoshop.
i like the composition, like the title. nice shot.

The tree is a little out of focus, and with the plain sky above, theres nothing that really stands out in the picture. I do think that the moss on the tree is cool
