Landscape CC, esp. PP

Shot this at sunrise off the Colonial Parkway going out to the Jamestown Archaeological Site. Mainly looking for PP comments. Thanks in advance.

Great shot and composition. I hope you don't mind, since you have image editting checked "ok" I played with some of the saturation elements by isolating a few areas. Personal taste, but I like a sunset, even if already "set", to have a little bit of color pop:

Don't mind at all! And hear I feared I had over-cooked it. I like the sky in your edit. I found it difficult in Lr to pull enough saturation out of it without feeling like I played with too many sliders :P

Truth be told this was a significant crop of the original file, and at first I didn't think much of the image. When the weather stops sucking, I'll go back and re-shoot this, maybe lower to the ground (although I was only about 1 foot or so off the ground in this shot), and framed portrait orientation instead of landscape. Should be able to pull more res out of it too if I don't have to crop so much.

Thanks.

I used the radial filter tool on just the sunset area, and the graduated filter at an angle on the upper sky - pulling the blue tone up a bit and decreasing exposure a touch to darken slightly, all the while trying to leave the rest of the shot untouched. Another option would be to get a little tighter as you mentioned - this is a lightened version of the previous edit, with a little cropped off top and bottom - although I like the portrait orientation too with the large foreground rock - nice shot overall man.
