You've got great layers in the foreground, Jerry, set against a fine sky with all of its colors and the band of clouds.  This would look good on a wall.

You have very nice color and layers, here, Jerry. I think this would also look nice as a pano crop from the bottom. The large, dark mass is a little overpowering. The processing looks real nice!

Jerry,

A beautiful looking morning sky in the Rockies.  I really like the layering of the numerous mountain ranges and the band of shallow diagonal clouds above tops this sunrise image off.

For me, along with Preston's comment, you might consider a crop off the bottom. The bulk in the lower left and much of that first ridge at the bottom are not really adding too much.  A slightly pano crop version would really help emphasize the line of dawn colors hugging the horizon.  This works as presented though, just a thought.
