Another photo of Cotacachi (city and volcano). The sunset was amazing that day! I love the setting sun on the left side of the mountain and how it created the shadow of the mountain on the sky. I agree with the comments that in looks more like a painting than a photo but editing was very minimal. I did reduce some noise and maybe that added to the "watercolor" effect, colors where not saturated, I'm guessing maybe pollution levels where high that day causing the unusual gradients (specially the pinks around the sun)?
I'm glad it at least got a 6! Thanks everyone for the comments.

Love the panoramic presentation for it gives the photo a wide sweeping cinematic feel which fits really well to give us this grandscale view of the landscape. The city beneath the rolling cloud-cover looks so tiny and Lilliputian in the shadow of the awe-inspiring giant of a mountain. Colors are visually stunning - but I think just a touch too much. Don't get me wrong I love the color but I think you pushed it just a tad too much because the reds and yellows are fiery and in the far left just off to the side of the mountain is a blown highlight spot surrounded by a halo of deep violet reds that looks unnatural. Still this is an exceptional and stunning shot - 9
Colors are beautiful. Moment is interesting with shadow of peak in the foreground. For me, the image is to over processed and now resembles a painting more than a photo.
