I like the stack of clouds, and the foreground slope and the sheep posing on the top of the hill. I kind of want a closer look at those sheep though.   A moderate telephoto lens would have kept most of your major elements. Nonetheless, a nice composition and an interesting photo.

What a neat scene -- sheep in the hill and sheep-like clouds in the sky.  I think this is one of those images where the scale of the presentation can make a difference.  It would look great as a really large print, or even filling a large screen.  For something small than a fairly large monitor, or less than a full page, a crop -- perhaps cutting out just that top cloud and a small bit of the other sides -- would make the sheep more significant in the scene.
