It's a real shame that the dynamic range on this image was just too much for the camera to handle. I don't know if it was taken on a tripod, but if it was I would have been tempted to make several bracketed exposures and blend them together afterwards to avoid the burned out area in the sky. This image would have been very, very good indeed if you could have achieved this.

I still like it very much as it is, this is not intended as a criticism, just trying to be helpful

My own experience tells me that fusing bracketed landscapes doesn't work too well and thus I stopped doing it. Nevertheless it might have been worth bracketing just to see if you got a better balance, but that's a lot easier to say after the event! I like the shot very much and the burned out area might have looked very similar had you painted the scene!
