Wow this is a really beautiful photo. You tamed and processed the sunset really well.

Thanks Jason. That sky was really exploding, so taming it was a bit of an challenge but I'm glad it came out ok. That was actually one file with the D800 too. The DR of the files that thing produces never ceases to amaze me.

It's a crop. I think sometimes I get lazy with the D800, because it's so easy to just crop the file and still come away with tons of resolution. I also had a killer cloud formation that was way up in the sky, it was completely blowing up with light. I really wanted to incorporate that into the shot, but realized when I was processing the image that I was forcing it too much (I had way to much empty sky between the mountains and cloud). When I cropped it, the image flowed much better to me. If I could do it again, I would've fired off some tighter shots to stitch together for a pano, but oh well, you live and learn.
This is going on our wall actually. Next step is figuring out how large I can go.
Wicked man, even if it isnt an actual pano I bet it'll print nice and wide. Post a pic when you get it made Im finally getting in gear and printing some stuff for myself too.
Nothing wrong with the darker trees. I think as a general rule we are obsessed with shadow detail these days. Let things go dark and leave something for the imagination to fill in.
Thanks everyone, your comments are truly humbling.

Great lighting and perfect post processing.
Glad to hear that. I've been refining my processing over the past year, trying to be smarter with my workflow and trying to push the boundaries of what I'm already capable of, so that means a lot Fred, thank you.
