I might be tempted to try to remove the slightly distracting lens flare from the centre of the picture, and maybe crop some of the dead space from the right, where there's some other brightly lit object that's chopped off and adding nothing to the composition.

This is my 'Pointing at the Weather' after some retouching inthe GIMP.

I've messed about with the levels and removed someof the dirt and specks. I've also cropped it for a slightly tightercomposition. Not done much digital editing of my photos - onlyrecently got a scanner, so this is new to me.

Can people comment (the original's in my portfolio too) Have Ioverdone it? Is the cropping a good idea? Maybe it's a bitoversaturated?

Or should I do more to it?...
