I'm a bit mixed about this one: it's visual feast, but I can't help but feel that there's a little too much grabbing my attention - there are lovely details in the hills both left and right. Perhaps the standard 2x3 DLSR crop has caught you between two stalls.
I also would wish for a slightly more moody light on the main hills and in the clouds.

That's quite an impressive vista. There is a dust bunny in the dark area of the clouds which is easily fixed. I like the detail, especially in the cliffs.

I really like how the colors blend from warm to cooler from bottom to top. The details in the terrain and sky work well together. And, I really like the 1x2-ish aspect you chose - it gives an added sense of the great expanse this must be in.
