Thank you again for all the feedback, everyone. Here is my third, and probably final, take.
Monument Valley Sunset 3, on Flickr
I tried to keep the changes subtle. I kept the same 2:1 crop, but moved it up to get a bit more of the sky. I lowered the contrast in the sky somewhat. And I tried to make the butte more prominent. I found that trying to selectively increase exposure or shadows on it looked unnatural, so I did a better job of removing the contrast adjustment on the sky from it (which was darkening it), and selectively added the new texture slider in LR to it, which seems to make it pop a bit more. I played a bit with the gray portions of the sky, but could not find something I was happy with so I left it as-is. The sunset seemed overwhelmingly yellow/orange in person, so I wanted to keep that feeling.
