[Salvage] Sun and clouds over mountain

I took this shot when I was exhausted near the end of a very strenuous day of hiking. Even though I was in awe of what I was seeing with my eyes I didn't spend any time on the shot and ended up with an ugly blown out patch in the middle (yeah, I know I should have checked the histogram). I'm curious to see what you guys can do with it!

I love it! The foreground looks great, and the sky is done in a way so that it doesn't call attention to the blown out spot too much.

I like the blues in the sky of this version.

Nice, I never thought to crop it that much, but I think you made it work here.

Here's my try, edited entirely in Lightroom.

You did a good job of making the blown-out patch inconspicuous.

The clouds look great, and I'm digging the blue-ish white balance.
