Nice thinking there but personally I find the barbed wire distracting. I'd clone it away, convert the picture to B/W, add some contrast and try to make the sky a bit more interesting.

I agree,the barbwire is too distracting and should be cloned out.

I would think it would work if the barbed wire were in focus. As it it, I agree about cloning it out.

Thank you all! Here is another version, following your comments: quick and (very) dirty cloning of the wire and conversion to B&W...

Here's my attempt. I hope you don't mind that I gave it a go. Perhaps it got a bit too dark.

I don't mind at all. I find it a bit too dark but like the cropping!

Maybe one with a contrast in between the two versions would be good...and brightening the sky while increasing contrast might look nice.
