The layout of the scene is simple but lacks a solid focal subject to add more depth.
a little less exposure time would of set the sky blue and a slightly less sensitive iso would have made the mountains standout.
Cropping needs to be taken care of as you have something popping into the frame bottom right that serves no purpose in the shot.
For a shot on landscapes you really have to engulf the landscape in a single shot. A great landscape leads the viewer into a journey with in it taking the eyes everywhere, exploring and desiring to see more.
It is better to have too much scene than too less unless photographing misty scenes etc then the reverse works.
try to set within the scene a subject like a tree, picnic bench or even a rocky outcrop, this way the viewer will have a starting point and a backdrop to explore.
When photographing scenes try to have a slow shutter speed, iso 200, 9 - 16 aperture and set the AF to "scene" or "evaluated". Use a wide angle lens or a 18mm minimum, that way you can capture a greater amount of "scape". Also sometimes the sky will be correctly exposed but everything else will be under-exposed, so try taking bracketed shots of ev -2, ev 0 and ev +2 (see your cameras manual for the settings). This way you can have a happy medium and combine them with photoshop or any other photo-editing software.
I hope that helps.
any questions just let me know.
Thanks again, Stuart.
I'll go on watching you!
