Hi Rob,
I like the colors on this very much and the sunburst is also a nice touch, I would be tempted to take a bit oof the top and add it to the black base...... to make each layer proportional...........but this is a very subjective matter and I think your original version is also very nice.

Rob,

I understand Roman's crop comment but have a different suggestion, just more of the mountains at the bottom - probably about the same height as the clouds. You have pretty equal heights of the sky above/below the clouds and the clouds, adding more on the bottom would have produced a more balanced layering. Would that make it more static? Your call. I think that the sunburst and cool looking dark shadows radiating from the top would still retain lots of drama.
