Hi Darius
Its a nice image and I bet it was a joy to be up high taking this image.
The only down is the burnt out are top left.
If you have the raw file, pull up the recovery slider to try and recover. Failing that simply clone the nice clouds from the middle and just leave the bright sun.

This type of scene is much more effectively dealt with my taking 2 exposures, one exposed for the sky, and one for everything else. You then use layer masks in Photoshop to combine them.

So called HDR techniques are overrated for landscape photography. Of all the different types of exposure blending, the end result of this sort of technique rarely looks good, in my opinion.
