Here is a long exposure from Pangong Tso (Lake) in Ladakh (external link). This must have been the only time when we saw the blue sky there. Rest of the time was dominated by a grey sheet over the sky. Could not really get the cloud movement as expected but got rid of all the tourists from the frame.

Here is my 2 cents worth of opinion.
I think there is too much dead space in the sky which, in this image, I find detracting and distracting. You framed the picture with lake/hills interface at the 1/3 horizontal line. You have a wonderful shoreline curvature which is not being utilized to lead the eye to the hills. Had you framed with the curvature around 1/3 from the bottom, and the lake/hills horizon at 2/3 with a little less sky, and more of the cloud/blue sky contrast, it would have been a much more interesting image.
I would go back to the image, or other images, and try cropping to see what leads to a more interesting composition, if only for the learning process. Or, you might have additional images with the framing I suggest for the sake of comparison.

That is my 2 cents. Anybody else out there with additional suggestions?

Thank you so much for your valuable comments Larry. I totally get the point that you are making. Let me check if there is a better composition. Definitely not there as a LE though. I missed taking alternate composition after seeing such wonderful clouds. But they were slow moving and little did I know that the entire are would be covered with clouds in some time making the light totally flat.
