Would this have benefited from a gradualted neutral density filter to give the sky more punch?

Beautiful.

Hello and welcome, nice shot ...

Why not try it with a gradient filter in LR / PS / whatever?

I private messaged you.

Yeup I agree. You can also clone out the overly bright spot on the top left. A gradient filter would work. A low tint one. Too much and that natural effect would go. The sunset at the horizon and far above the sky still illuminated by the sun.

I used to know how to do that, but I can't remember. I had a look on youtube but didn't find what I was looking for.

It depends on what software you're using, but the basic procedure would be to add a gradient exposure filter or a gradient layer mask to an exposure adjustment layer -- with either positioned over the sky (more opaque at top, transparent toward the horizon). Then drop the exposure level a bit to darken the sky. You might want to adjust vibrance / saturation as well, but you'll have to see how it looks.

I'm not an Adobe user but they're all fairly similar across brands.
