Greetings !!

Great use of colors in the shot.
A few things I would have liked more is a different composition, the tree is placed somewhat at a weird position, the left side of the frame looks weak at this time and also a bit of more room to breathe on the top might help too.
Color saturation/hue seems to add noise in the sky most visily around horizon. Use of a noise removal software like neatimage will help improve the shot.
Like any other landscape shot, straight horizon is desired which is not the case here and can be improved in editing.

If you have any questions/comments please feel free to pm me.

thanks,
Gaurawa
