That is a neat sky! Nice image. Now let's see it how you wanted to dress it outside Basic editing.

Your peak is at the thirds point, but the horizon is below it.

Very nice example of the ROT, good entry for the challenge.
The colors in the sky are a little dull for me, I wish they "popped" a little more. The detail in te foreground is really good. The lines of the mountain lead the eye RIGHT to a ROT intersection, which is perfect.

I think you could have cut out a lot of the sky. It takes over the picture. With cropping, you could still have gotten a good picture in a landscape format.
