I love the contraste in your shot. Lighting also exceptional. It could have been tempting to use a light source in the foreground but you did not. I personally thing it is just perfect, letting us imagine how beautiful it must be with just a bit more light. Also the lighting leads our eyes to the sky since it is the brightest part of the photo. Extremely hard to balance two focales as you did.
