Hi Sandeep. It is a good photo but it think there are a lot of empty spaces achieving not a lot. Perhaps the foreground needs some detail?? Here is my 10sec edit, ignore it if you want.
Hi Ralph, Thanks for critique. I never ignore any comments, the purpose of asking for critique is to get opinions :) You have an interesting crop although the clouds at top are completely lost. I need panoramic effect with a feel of vast landscape.
I have tried processing the raw file multiple times, once for sky, second time for foreground, blending in photoshop. There is enough detail in foreground and it is fall colors in trees (d810 raw file, iso64). I will post the alternative again... my take on this photo is that darkness in this photo makes it attractive. As soon as foreground details are visible, the brilliant light looses its appeal (even if sky is untouched). Probably how our brain processes contrast.
Thanks Victor. You have sharp observation. I removed the purple cast on clouds. Also tried to include some details in foreground but that does not work. Here is version with neutral clouds.

thats better Sandeep , dont think you can get detail from the blacks , but also dont think you need to , the silhouette works well , well done
I'm going to go against the grain (no pun intended!) and say, I really like the silhouetted foreground in this photograph.
