Beautiful composition, but your contrast is a bit low.

I like how the different "layers" lead the eyes upwards and into your photo. Had there been a bit more color saturation or light/contrast, I would have scored this even higher.

Needs more contrast. And it's tilted to the right a little. Nice balance between the sand, rock, and mountain however.

There is a cloudy film over this whole image on my monitor (not a problem with the other images in this challenge) 5

Gorgeous shot!

Love the layers. I do think it would have been a touch more powerful if the foreground (sand) were a touch out of focus. May have given it even more depth!

this looks kinda hazy to me only in the darker tone areas uping the contrast would help it alot.

It's lacking some contrast but it's a excellent picture.

Strong rugged mountain here and suits the title so well...

This picture seems almost to be leaning to the right? It gives a strange feeling of somehting not being quite as it should. Strange. The colours are perhaps a little too subdued and the sky a somewhat squashed. All this imo, obviously. Good luck!

great location. the grass, rock, sand and cloud textures are quite nice. i wish the colors had a bit more pop. i wish we were looking more straight on

the colors seem a bit dull and I'm not feeling the depth that is involved here.
Nice sky and detials on the crown of the mountiain

The colours all seem a bit washed out to me, there is no black in the photo. It is all grey. Definately needs a strong contrast boost in my opinion to get it looking richer.

could use a little bit more contrast

I like how the different areas stack on top of each other -- interesting.
