I really like the concept of humanity dwarfed by the landscape and sky. I think that in a larger print say over 11X14 the details in the little lad would be just visible enough to really make the photo. Well now for the woulda/shoulda/coulda. I believe that this composition would be improved by trying a different proportioned print; say 10X18 or maybe 10X20. Same basic composition with the whole of the cloud but more horizontal. From where you shot this picture you probably would have needed a wider lens. Also, because you like clouds so much I think that you will be entering the dreaded polarizer zone in the M world. A little bit of polarization on the clouds would make them pop more without becoming velviaized or in the words of the most popular consumer British photo magazine, over the top. Please don't take my woulda shoulda as taking away from your very well done photograph, just thoughts on pushing the envelope once again.
