Although this scene could be shot is better light, it definitely puts me there. Must have been a wonderful trek. The larger version shows some dust spots.

Richard, I don't understand why this hasn't received more comments/suggestions. Sure, it's not 'sweet' light, but is quite true to the high altitude environment. You might try burning down the scree slope and bush on the right side just a little and punch up the saturation just a bit. Overall the exposure and color look nice. That sure is some tall country!

Richard,

Agree with Preston's comments all the way around. I think this is a fine mountain landscape from the Rockies about Lake Louise. You have some nice light and shadow play from the clouds which I think helps in this otherwise high mountain light. My only suggestion would be burning down the snow up top on the right some, but it's not a major deal.

Looks very much like the remnants of a glaciated valley to me!

I love hiking in this neck of the woods. This is a great view of Mt Lefroy, makes me wish summer was here.
