5 image HDR at Sunset at Valley of Fire State Park, NV.

5d; 17-40L; ISO 200; multiple exposures; f/16

I feel like it still needs something to make it pop. I tried saturation boost, but it looked too weird.

suggestions?

Though the darkness of the image may be what it looked like, I suggest you bring up luminance of the FG some and MG more to reveal additional detail. Saturation is OK so far and may need reduction later. Do a curves adjustment on the shadows and mid-tones with a mask, paint the FG and MG in using different brush opacities to layer the effect.

Composition looks good. I would like to have seen the brush in the lower right not cut if that was possible.
