While this kind of look is frequently coupled with that kind of contrast on the sky, I personally would have found the picture more emotive (in the sense of evoking the awe of being there in person in a sunny day) if the sky was far more natural looking. But that's just me, I guess :)
Good choice of structure.
I like that this gives off a tough, scary feel. The emotion that I sense is almost a lack-of-emotion, toughened and hard and non-feeling. If that makes ANY sense whatsoever haha. I like it :)
