The sky needs a lot more contrast in the clouds. You've got very interesting misty mountains and there may be a nice image down in the lower right corner, but the clouds lack impact and, being so big a part of the image area they take the life out of it.

If you have the software to do it, try pumping a lot more contrast into the clouds, but hold the mountains as is. The tree seems a bit awkward, but would probably look better if it separated from the mountains, too.

An ND grad filter might have made the sky work better; I just noticed that if I crop out the clouds this makes a very interesting panoramic shot of the blue ridge mountains.
