Nice vantage point! The white balance seems a little high, but other than that it's pretty cool

This looks like three auto exposure shots merged. The uneven gradient in the sky is hard to control in these super wide images. Try shooting bracketed exposures, without changing aperture or focus, then find the images that merge best. Another option is to shoot all manual. Take the primary shot using auto, check the settings, then shoot all of the shots using that aperture- shutter speed combo.
Have a look at the exif of the originals used in this, and see if exposure changed from one to the next. If it did, then that's the problem. The bright staircases on the sides probably caused EV to change, making the sky darker.

That's truly a surreal looking place, esp edited with the merge like this. No wonder it makes you dizzy to look at it. I like it because it has weirdness.
