Hello from the Critique Club!
I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective – first observationsâ€Â¦this image has a lot of scenery to look at; the peak is centered; the cabin is just off a good thirds line. Now that all said, I think a slightly different crop either to the left or right would fix most of that. The side would depend on how much image you already cropped. Putting the mountain to one side or the other would help the placement of the cabin. Cropping some off the bottom would eliminate some of the clutter and distractions. The focus seems a little soft or perhaps some sharpening. There is a lot of texture in this image that could be brought out more. The perspective of the shot is excellent. The downward slope leads you into the shot while the sweeping valley in the mid section takes you right to the mountain. Very nice flow.
Color – the palette here is very rich in earthy tones with real nice tonal qualities. Some work with levels, contrast would bring those out more. The reds are a very nice contrast to the tans and browns of the grass. The greens and blues are a real nice lead into the whites and grays of the mountain and sky.
Light – very good use of natural lighting. The right time of day with the right conditions. This helps develop the textures (see above) that are all over this image. The balance between dark and light areas in the scene is very well done.
Challenge requirements – this certainly meets the challenge requirements very well. This is an exceptional landscape scene and one that should be hung somewhere.
Overall/my opinion – great image that I think fell short in the post processing. Everything I see in this image that I commented on can be fixed. I would be interested in seeing any reworks you do of this. The scene is very captivating and is a beautiful landscape image.

| needs more color satuation and contrast, subject is too centered, crop a bit off the right and bottom, and you've got a great photo. |
