I have the same opinion as the others - its a bit underexposed due to the sky. select the land and play with levels, curves and maybe shadow/highlights. Also bump up the Saturation a bit as you may lose some of the colour. Thats just my subjective opinion though.
Taking photos like this (If you use a tripod) i often take 2 seperate photos one exposed for the sky and one exposed for the land then i blend the two in post processing. This method stops graininess with post editing.
Nice photo BTW! |

| I agree with Justin, this image has a lot more potential in post processing. Obviously, you wanted the dramatic sky as part of the shot, and making sure you didn't blow the highlights has left the rest under-exposed. Try using a soft edge or gradient mask and boosting everything but the highlights in the clouds. There are some brighter areas on the landscape where the light is peeking through the clouds that could really pop with some tweaking. It's a good capture of a great vantage point. |

| I like this photo a lot, I'm a huge fan of landscapes. Great sky. I have a suggestion though. Try selectively adjusting the rock wall in front. I think with a bit of level/curves tweaking you could really make it pop. In fact, a lot of the foreground could benefit from being brought out a bit as it appears the photo was underexposed due to the bright sky. |
