Hello,

I think the clouds are fine, exposure, etc., BUT it does need some WOW to it as @Nancy OShea said. Currently, the image is too flat; it needs to 'pop' more!

Excuse me for my ignorance, but what WOW stands for? Thanks for your reply.

Another question, what does it mean the image "needes to 'pop' more"? Please advise. Thanks.

IMO, it needs some WOW factor. 

Start by straghtening and cropping out distracting elements from the foreground.

Add some saturation and levels adjustments to boost color vibrance and reduce harsh foreground shadows. See screenshot.

    What about the other image you uploaded? Looks like you don't want feedback on that one?

    This one has underexposed shadows and slightly overexposed cloud areas. White Balance is too blue. The  foreground rocks and hills are lacking detail when zoomed in - they have a "crushed" appearance with indistinct edges; looks like this is from a cell phone camera?

    This image is not from a cell phone camera, it is from Fuji XT-3. I left the shadows on purpose, slightly overexposed

    clouds don't harm the image in my opinion. What do you mean by "crushed" appearance? 

    I really want the feedback on the first image, but the various feedbacks seem to be inconclusive.

    Zoom in and examine the details carefully. Fill the screen with this crop, and you'll see that the edges of objects are indistinct.
