Chris,
You managed to get some great colors and a really nice sky, but that is all this image has going for it. It seems to be sitting on the fence between an abstract study in color and a more concrete lanscape photo but seems to miss both marks. If you are aiming for abstract you need to lose the foreground or reaplce it with something that will pick up the colors like reflections on water. Otherwise you need a stronger foreground--maybe a strong interesting silhouette against the sky to add some intest. As it stands now the cropping is akward because the bushy thing on the right attracts the most attention and the solid black foreground is to heavy and uniteresting to contribute to the beautiful colors in the sky.
