I agree with Mark, and maybe a tad off the top, my eye gets stretched up there. The glow is nice, but that is about the most captivating thing for me.

That is brilliant sky ! I like how the FG rocks seem to be reflecting the glow of the sky. Nice comp as the placement of the cliff leads me in

The perspective of the line of jagged peaks going into the distance and great light and texture on the FG rocks make this a great image.

Beautiful Marc! I love the red light and the receding mountain ranges that sweep into the light.

Nice, Marc - the reflection (or lichen?) on the rocks in the foreground really makes the image. The serene blues along the left side of the image don't bother me, since they're part of the story (to me). But the grasses along the lower half of the right edge look a little flat and light to me, distracting from those cool pink rocks in the middle foreground.

This image has a nice front to back depth along the spine of the mountains. The 3rd dimension is enhanced when cropping closer to the mountains from the top, but I couldn't cut out any of those colorful clouds if it were my image.
Great job of compressing the range of light into this photo! Like Darren said, I feel like I am there looking at it (But sipping on an ice cold barley soda.)
You really hold that power to bring people into the scene and really feel the emotion; a gracious gift you share to the world; no exceptions here. I really like how you captured the natural lighting.
Albeit extremely colorful and better than 99.9 percent of the sunsets I encounter ( I have virtually no luck) ,I think having that large of a sky pulls my eyes from the main elements of the image: the rugged peaks. I would consider minutely increasing contrast for the foreground. There is also a subtle halo above the peak in the upper left. </nits>
