Gorgeous scene and great colors. A little less of the sky on top would be nice because I don't think the color of that part of the sky adds anything and it seems to overpower the warm golden tones below.

A wonderful expanse of sky... the lense glare on the left could have been edited out pretty easily, a bit of a distraction to me. The colors are wonderful. Well done. Bumping up, one of the best images in the challenge.
