This is really good. Blue sky and clouds, and the red tower perfect located in the image.

OK, I think Westward Ho! would be a nice caption for the image..

I like the way the OP 'saw' this photo-opportunity, and executed it with aplomb. The things I like are

1. the selection of time of the day, background and subject to give a bold colour scheme with high contrast in the areas where the eye is naturally drawn to.

2. The isolation of fluffy clouds below the 'imaginary horizontal line at the solid white and red interface on the tower'

3. Off-setting the subject to the left rather than placing it bang in the middle.

 

What i did not understand is how the extreme background [sky minus tower minus fluffy clouds] seem to be lacking in contrast, shape and sharpness, as compared to the fluffy clouds themselves (both are at infinity).

For a minute I thought that the Ken managed to get hold of a miniature tower and held it against the mural (or rather the print of a poor photo) of a blue sky somewhere around SSC Napoli.

 

Nice work, thanks for sharing !
