The colours are lovely in this - not too overdone and the exposure (for my tastes) is spot on. I find the object on the left a bit distracting however, if I could make out a bit more of it, it would seem relevent ....

Overall - very nicely done ...

Yeah, I was worried 'bout that same thought...
This was taken at the Trona Pinnacles in California, that is one of the rock formations. This is a really cool place if you ever get the chance...

Fantastic sky and gorgeous silhouette!

i mostly agree what have been told before. imho, the top and bottom black lines are a bit too big. Maybe you can crop it a (little) bit?

The object on the left doesn't bother me much. I wish there was a little more sharpness or detail in the clouds.

Oh, and there seems to be a bright line of sharpening halo around the black areas. When I do photos like this, I usually sharpen a separate layer then erase the halo around the transition to the original photo.

@grahambo No sharpening done at all, therefore, your first comment, second comment? I don't see it.
The whole sharpening thing is something I still haven't done much of. Digital photography is new enough to me that some parts of it still make me feel like a novice. I know of some good tutorials and I have a friend at work that is very experienced, I just have taken the time to really get into it.

I love the subtle colors. As for the object on the left side, I don't mind it too much, but might have cropped to the far edge of it so as not to have it split that part of the frame but rather be a part of the frame. Or perhaps just cropped it all together.

I think the "halo" is just the waning light as it shown on the edge of the mountain.

Scott Kelby has some great basic photoshop books if you want to learn photoshop.

I like this period.. love the contrast and the colors .. well done..

Simplicity. love it.
