Boy, I'm going to feel like such a bad guy...

I like it, butttt....

I like the top half. It's really nice. Nice pastells, love the silver lining and the sunshine streaming down.

The bottom half, not so much. I think it's interesting subject matter, but I'm left a bit flat with the lack of contrast. Playing with "curves" might help, but it won't be simple. or maybe highlight/shadows control, or a mask with brightness/contrast?

Lastly, I think it the entire photo might look even better with the white balance set somewhere else. It's a tad golden, which may be what you are going after, but when I set the white point to the silver lining (thereby reducing the yellow cast), the photo seemed to "pop" a bit more.

Anyways these are all just opinions, so take them with a grain of salt.

wow, what a great shot. I agree somewhat with gmarquez regarding the bottom of the picture but then again I like the contrast between Heaven and Earth. =)

Thanks all

Don't feel like that, critizism is welcome

Actually, even on the screen I am sitting in front now, I do not like the foreground very much myself. But I will leave proper processing to when I'm back. Will keep your opinion in mind, certainly
