The sky looks slightly hyper-real now with the gradient of blues, but I think it works. My focus is drawn immediately to the sky and the houses become incidental. When I finally pull my eyes down to the houses, they look pleasant but cookie-cutter. There's a nice tension between the ideal of a single family home with two cars in the driveway (and presumably a nuclear, heterosexual family with 2.5 kids), and monotony. I think this is better.
