Nice shot. Two things: 1. there is a little black dot in the sky top left. Looks like a bird. Get rid of it. 2. For me I would like to see a tighter crop vertically. I know the sky is the subject but i feel like there is too much and can be cropped down to just above the long hoirizontal cloud

I agree with the tighter crop. Might also want to consider getting rid of the electrical tower.

Leave it alone - it's a very good picture.

The "tower" (as it is miniscule) does not worry me. You might up the saturation and contrast a bit to make the colours more pronounced and the bottom even less interesting than it already is.
