I like the clouds in the upper part of the photo, they have a very special color tone. But according to me, the picture misses some interesting details. The foreground is not so interesting, and I didn't even notice the hang glider until you mentioned it. I think if the hang glider was a little bigger, that really added something extra to this photo.

After all, this photo gives me a very relaxed feeling. That's the good thing. The consequence is that you can loose interest in this picture very easily.

I agree w/ popol, the upper part is the first thing my eye gets caught. Than I mve down and right, looking to the sun, and i continue to down..... but nothing is there.... I actually get pulled to the exact location of the glider, but it is really hard too see the glider, it looks like a dust. It it was bigger, or something interesting was at the lower right corner to keep my entertained....
ps: is it a hangglider or paraglider?

Its always best to zoom in on the important part of a scene. Try to simplify a photo so its quick and easy for 'us', the public to 'read'.
