Interesting light falling on the rocks but I'm not keen on the saturated orange of the sky, nor the strange pink and greens on the farthest rocks, especially since it's those oddly coloured rocks that seem to be the main focal point, drawing my eye in.

the land in the foreground looks good, the color of the mountain in the back looks strange as does the orange sky

The rockface on the lefthand side, at least on my monitor, has some funky colors to it: purple and green and such. The rest looks as it should.
