It looks like, if you do anything more it would drastically alter the balance. What medium is it? The buildings could do with a little more definition.
JMHO. I like the colors and the texture.

(97,399 posts)A challenge to add much more to the clouds but if your eye sees more, you should do it. Maybe walk away for a couple hours and look at it again.
Nice work, an interesting scene.

Is this a watercolor?

Especially with the sky.
I honestly think this looks great. Your light is really well done and I like how loose you are with your lines.
Really nice.

(37,777 posts)About stepping away from it for a day or two. I do the same and I always seem to see the work in a different light when I do.
I think your clouds are perfect, but maybe a tad more definition in the buildings. Not too much! And nothing too dark!
