Beautiful shot and excellent colors. The sky is magnificent...

However, I think your masking could have been better. The borders between the darkened area (the sky) and the rest of the picture are very visible - especially around the head of the guy with the read t-shirt), and this makes it easy to see that the sky has been "doctored" and it's almost like he was added to the picture. (I know it's not easy to avoid this)
