Hi Matt.
I like the composition and the expanse of the scene. I think overall the photo feels a bit dark and could use some lightening.

Looks like the Lamar Valley, one of my favorite places also. You've captured some really nice warm light here.

I like the comp and the vastness of the scene. But i agree that it feels a bit dark. Beautiful warm light

It seems to me that the white balance on the top of the scene is too warm for the conditions (or there was smoke in the air). The blue tones are a bit muddy. The other thing I would do here is apply some fine sharpening after the resize before posting.
Composition-wise, I like this sort of openness in my landscape photos. Its open, inviting and has a flow.

Great angle on the valley. I visited the Lamar and most of the park some 12 years ago, and dying to go there again. Regarding composition, I would have put the horizon higher into the frame, since the sky is almost cloudless and grayish to a certain degree. Probably more highlights could make a difference. And also, maybe the rock on the bottomo left corner could have taken more protagonism in the foreground. Just maybe
Excellent post anywa. Thanks!

Nice open vista with subtle tones and shades. I'd agree with moving the horizon a bit higher.
