Still trying to figure out how this breaks all the rules of composition. This image fits all the rules into one nice bundle. This is what composition is about, creating a perfect shot and that is the Only rule of composition. The others are aid's.
In this case the Rule of Composition that is being applied is that of Symetry (think that's how you spell it). And used in landscape photography it can produce some pretty good images if the subject is right.
Having said all that
You need to straighten the horizon and crop a bit from the right as the peak is not in center.
The color is great, I love the way the clouds swirl around, and the shadow/sunlight on the ground is really nice.
As tvoelcker said, try some other things, and don't know how close you can get but closer shots to fill more of the frame.
Don't know how much you know about editing but try doing a Panorama by shooting 2 shots, one as done and another turning your camera to the left half a frame then merge them to one image. Most software has features for making panorama's and then you can crop and edit all you like. And you can also then work using the Rule of Thirds. Would make a nice shot.
