Hi Tony...
The colours you captured are just great, with those intense fire clouds lighting up the sky...
Even so, there are some minor (or major ;-P) adjustments that would improve the photo:
1st: don't place the horizont line so centered... either in the lower or upper 2/3 of the photo would emphasize the sky or the water, respectively, delivering a more harmonious composition.
2nd: use a tripod (that's mandatory!) and use longer exposures with higher f values... something near f11 works for many lenses
3rd: beware of the foreground; including plants and leaves may be interesting but is technically testing. In this situation should you have used a f value like f11 the plants would be in focus too... In my opinion, in this situation I would have skipped the use of the plants as foreground.
I hope to have been helpful
