Great composition, with a good balance between foreground (shrub) and background (butte). The sky is also good.

IMO, the processing is too "hdr-esque".

Agreed. You need more tone and contrast.

Great shot but, as noted, post-processing needs improvements.

Lots to like here, but we might expect the foreground to look a little darker with such a bright background. Also, the colour of the foreground looks like it was shot under a cloudy sky, and this contrasts with the sunrise.

Nice job. I think your post processing is pretty good and almost there. The sky seems a little bit crispy and could use some backing off the local contrast. As others mentioned, the foreground might look better a little bit darker which would add to the mood. Overall, it's  a good looking photograph. Thanks for sharing.
