I like the composition of the bare wood in the foreground. Perhaps, if anything, a little dodging of the highlights of the wood where it appears to cross the tree line would make it stand away from the background a bit more.

Nice image. Some burning and dodging of the sky could have made it better, I think.

Composition is very nice, your eyes are definately drawn into the picture, the clouds are lovely, seems a little over sharpened.
