good title.... and it looks like they will have a clear sky to boot... good choice of duotone and good choice to leave the tree in the field in the shot

So difficult, even without the restrictions of basic editing, to control both the sky and the ground exposure. I don't think you quite succeed here: too much lost control in the clouds, and not enough graduation of tone in the observatory. The shadow/highlights filter can be hugely effective here, though the results are often a touch unrealistic. Obviously, the most effective approach would be an ND grad filter when shooting. There's a certain sense of quietness and mood to the shot though, which I appreciate.
