Golden larches
I'm offering this for you to tear apart. Actually I'm not convinced by this photo. Here is why: I like larches, I like mountains and I like the depth of the photo. I don't care for the geometry of the sun star and I'm not convinced by the sky.

Cheers,
Marko

Marko have not got a clue about landscape photography but I will try to study your points and look forward to what others say.

I think the sun burst works fine but I think the two dark clouds pull you out of the scene though. A shot I'd still be pleased with though :toast:

Tricky one this, the natural leading lines of two the rear mountains lead you away from the sun to effectively nothing which is possibly why it doesn't quite work as a image?

I think it needs a bit more foreground interest to counterbalance this or a single dominating element :confused:

Marco when I looked at this there was something I was not sure about but I recon Simon got it with his comment re the dark cloud but I echo what he said about being pleased with it.I live and learn
