Hello from the Critique Club,

You found a very lovely scene and did a very nice job with the composition. The size relationship between the plant and mountain give the image a lot of depth. Where I think this image falls a little short is in the color. The harsh sun gives the image a washed-out look. You might want to try bumping the gamma in levels and then decreasing the brightness. This will strengthen the colors and contrast in the mid-range features.

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

Good, maybe a bit more contrast for postcard impact.

i would have recommended boosting the saturation some - everything looks tan - (by the way - i know it is), but bringing our more green where there is would have helped it pop out more

the color of the sky is nice, but otherwise I don't see anything that would make me want to come to NM
