I really like the foreground, but there's something a little odd about the clouds... Graduated ND filter?

The colors go together well, but I might have liked just a bit more lightness in the blues. Maybe something to accent his jeans in the sky?

Nver heard of that one ... but the image is amazing - looks like a polarizing filter must have been used. 7
