Default Unexpected Sunset

Took this over the weekend on a failed trip up to Clingman's Dome (GSMNP) for a sunset shoot. I missed the main feature, but as I was driving back down Newfound Gap Road I saw this amazing afterglow. Makes me wonder what the actual sunset looked like...

Anyway, whaddya think?

Default right exposure

I think you exposed correctly and captured great colors, however there isn't much interest in the silhouette. The tree on the left could have worked its way into the picture a bit more from a different angle.

Default Sunset Remix

Thanks,

I agree about the shadow part not being too interesting. Thanks to RAW I made a new improved version, how about it:

I like the original, but like the edit much better. It's been years since I was up around Clingmans dome. I definitely need to get back up there.
