Assuming you didn't stretch the contrast beyond belief in post-processing, this would be a situation where an HDR would bode well for allowing more detail to be seen.
I like the detail of the rocks, but I would lighten them up a bit. The photo seems busy. The rocks in the foreground maintain my attention -is that the idea? (What do I know? I'm a noob) Anyways, overall 9.9 out of 10!! Cool Photo!
