You are featured in my journal! 
In your artist comment you said that this is a single shot version of the 3 shot panorama you have submitted before. While the two shots are fantastic individually, some aspects are so similar that comparing the two shots in this critique will be inevitable.
To begin with the composition, I have to say that you have once again been so kind to share your brilliant vision with the rest of the world. The mixture of the cloud formation, the curvy landscape, the bare bedrock on the foreground and the distinctive tree gives this shot a lot of points of interest.
The use of ultra wide angle works particularly well as it pulls the 4 ingredients mentioned above towards the corners. This forces the viewer to set his sight on the bright horizon and the beautifully lit landscape in the distance.
The post process is done exactly in a way to be expected or rather demanded from you, like a true master. The use of the dark shadows accentuates the elements you want the viewers to look at. It seems as if the mood seems a bit sad, but the burning horizon is almost trying to tell me that the road ahead of you is bright and that you must endeavor to reach the light.
As mentioned before, I love the use of 10mm. I also love the use of small aperture to make this shot very sharp and crisp. The only very small negative point about the use of 10mm is that it distorts the corner a bit, while (and here's the comparison) in the 3 shot pano it doesn't bother me as much. Maybe it's because of the lush green and overall vividness of the pano that hides the distortion better. I don't know, but that is about the only negative thing I can think of and it isn't even in your own control.
I shouldn't punish you for it, but it does hurt the image a tiny little bit. All in all Jon, the day I get as good and consistent as you is the day I will call myself a photographer. Until that day, there will always be a master and there will always be a pupil. I think we both know our roles
