I like the area above the foreground, and the sky in particular. The tonal contrast with the lower section, together with that almost brutal diagonal, break the picture up a bit too much for me, creating a slightly unbalanced effect. I'd be inclined to lighten the foreground and bring up more of its interesting detail and texture, as per the attached edit. I didn't even realise there was a figure in that area until I lightened it. I find the image as a whole much more appealing when it all "speaks". It's as if the bottom is a bit mute in your edit compared to what it could say.
