Norwegian skies

Here's another Norwegian shot.
This time my question is whether the blue sky looks too black/too dark in this conversion.
Also my aim is to sufficiently stress the grass on the roof - is this a prominent enough feature of the image?

I like this. Not necessarily for the content, but the well thought out composition appeals to me, and some interesting details. The diagonal grass pattern on the roof repeats itself with the level line of the bushes on the ground. There is a chaotic pattern in the timber wall, as well as in the sky with the clouds. The centering of the elements works well. Good work :)

For the image to be more succesful, you might need to process with local enhancement so the grass turf on the roof stands out better against the bland sky behind the straws. Otherwise I agree with the comments of my namesake.

Thanks, both of you Bjørns!
I guess I could dodge the highlights slightly in the turf grass area. I already burned the shadows there to some extent.
