well i do like the framing of the bottom hills, how they are black, but i think they also create a bit of a boxy feeling. If the hill had just gone over one corner of the frame i think i would have like that part more. very nice color and texture in the sunlight streaming through the mountins onto the water. I am not sure i am a big fan of the tall format of the image. I am not quite sure why though. perhaps the blue on the very top seems distracting to me and pulls my eye away from what is REALLY interesting.. the sun and clouds, interacting with the cliffs.
just my thoughts.

beautiful photo, but i feel, as others have suggested, that a square crop might possibly be stronger? (cropping off top)

I think I'd like this even more if you brightened it up a bit with curves so it showed a little more detail in the clouds and foreground

A difficult esposure that you have handled nicely. Like that lighting particularly of the mountain or plateau as the cae may be. Great Sky, like all the levels of dark and light and colors.

Great capture... I love the colors and the "feel" of the image. My only nitpick is that there is no "&" or "and" in the title. I feel it's necessary for this particular challenge. But that is only a minor nitpick - 8

Very nicely captured. I like the colors and it appears the rays of the dawning sun are carving the ridges on the cliffs in the background.

Stunning bottom half (cropping off top might be an idea). Almost never notice or comment on borders but this one doesn't help picture. Good work.

I love this photo, great sunset, and the "streaks" of the sun is great. i would have cropped away the blue top though. but Very good capture 8
