Composition -- I personally like the subject you chose for this challenge. Of course, I may be biased because I almost submitted something similar! I think the tree and clouds form a nice triangle, whether intentional or not. I also like the simplicity of it and the contrast of the white and blue.
Technique -- The focus does seem a little off on the tree, probably because trees and leaves are a bear to photograph with digi cams! I am not familiar with your camera, so i don't know if the lack of focus came from it or post processing. You have used available light well, and nothing seems blown out. I do see some noise in the sky, which is distracting. Something I have just found that helps this situation (and is dpc legal) is NeatImage. You can get a free download, and it eliminates noisy that I had in my pics that I didn't know I had. Also, did you try boosting the contrast slightly, just to make the tree have a little more pop? Not sure how much it would help, but it might help some.
Overall Effect -- I'm like you in that I like pictures of skies and clouds. Unfortunately for us, that is not the most popular choice of subjects on dpc, but don't stop! This picture has a very peaceful, serene feeling to it.
