Very nice.  You may want to tweak the perspective a little.  The steeple doesn't appear to be perfectly vertical, and the trees to the right appear to tilt in the opposite direction.

Where's the fog!?  ;)

Suggestion: I would lighten up the road, to visually balance it against the vast expanse of the sky.

I would emphasize the sky by cropping a whack off the bottom, this still leaves lots of road.

It looks like a very interesting church (where is it btw?) off in the distance...I would have definitely tried to get closer and work on shots of that. What is here for the most part taking up most of the picture plane... is a high contrast quilted sky with a old field and asphalt(?) with nearly crushed blacks.  Are these things interesting/compelling by themselves or together..and with the distant church.  I don't think so.

I wouldn't change a bit.
The lines of the horizon, the clouds and the road lead towards the church.
The church tower looks straight - so no tilt.
Cropping off from the road would destroy the square aspect ratio which I think works well.
If cropping at all I'd crop from bottom and left side to preserve the square ratio.

The church tower looks tilted but is straight.

There seem to be multiple top-left-to-right-side lines through the clouds?
For you it may look tilted - for me it looks straight.

I like it very much but would clone out the powerlines (?) in the sky…
