Your shot in good, you just need to lift the exposure on the foreground. with "golden hour" shots, we always going to have a scene where the foreground is a few stops darker than the sky. Without the use of Grad ND filters its impossible to get it right in camera so you will have to shoot in bracketing, -1, 1, +1, if the FG is much darker then you would sometimes need to shoot +2 to get the colour and detail in. Thereafter you will need to merge or blend photo's. Photoshop CS6 would be a good tool to manually blend selected parts of the images to achieve a well balanced final product. If you want to work on single images, then you can use the grad filter or adjustment brush tool in Lightroom to edit specific areas. These guys are some of the best landscapers in SA.
