This adds some tension into the shot, and I feel that you are correct. This image would have worked better had the lines in the field been complimented by the lines made by the clouds. I think a hard crop that reduces the amount of sky in the shot will at least partially compensate. I think the movement needs to have a main direction that compliments the flow of the foreground and with the current crop, that is not the case.
