Beautiful color, nice composition. Clouds seem OK to me.

Wow. Now that is a bold splash! Even in the thumbnail it grabs you. I like the contrast with the rugged ridge behind. The clouds look bright, but not too weird to me.

Nice bold colors in what almost comes across as an abstract. I see this one as shapes and colors, with some nice textures thrown in. Works quite nicely.

The diagonal line of brilliant foliage cutting across the rugged cliffs creates a nice tension and balance here. Great comp.

The clouds look like they were breaking up or thinning out? What was the shutter speed?

Or, perhaps the polarizer might have over-darkened the sky a bit, which makes the clouds look different too, but I gotta say I like the effect, especially given the boldness of the diagonal slash of orange. Nice job!

Danny,

I like this - simple and strong composition. You mention something weird with the clouds... is it something that could be fixed/processed? I think I would almost like a bit more sky/clouds to create kind of a triangular comp and balance. But a minor thought. Not very often one gets to see an entire grove like this aflame...
