Unusual color/texture from the hill on the left.

IMO you loose some of the beauty of your picture with the foreground you have. If you had "hiked" over that and got the mountains in the background only...this shot IMO would be greatly improved

I like the mixture of elements.....green hill, rocky mountain, etc. Seems to be a bit too much sky and the horizon is too centered. Sky looks a bit noisy too.

nice contrast with the hills. The closest one looks slight over exposed so lacks a bit of detail.
