The picture transmits the feeling of a cold, cloudy misty desolated day and place.

It's nice and well composed for my taste.:lust

I'm usually not too fond of selective coloring, but I think it works well in this shot. Only one nit: there's a dark spot in the clouds at the upper right. Might be natural, might be a dust bunny:dunno, but I would get rid of it. Overall, very nicely done. :thumb

I love the potential in this shot for the desolation. The leaning trees compliment the clouds so well.

It's really dark to my eyes, though. I think even lightening it a full stop could help, but you'd want to preserve the texture and details in the clouds.

Trying to think about the composition here: I either want to see more or less of that mountain on the right - I think having it along with the mountain on the left is a bit too much. Perhaps try cropping one of them out? With four subjects there (mountains, hills, rocks and the trees) my eyes don't know where to go first.

It might also look great cropped a bit straight off the bottom, for a pseudo-pano feel.

I tried cropping out some of the mountain, but it didn't sit right. I do like the more "pano" type crop idea.

Color is straight out of the camera.http://justiceiro.smugmug.com/photos/205825359-L.jpg

It may be my screen but the image looks a bit dark for my taste. I like your original image first. :thumb

Gives me the impression of cold, miserable day in the mountains.

I'd love to see it in Black and White?? What do you think?

I really like the composition. I think it could be a little brighter. Just a stop or so. Add a curves layer in PS and drag that up a little and it will add come contrast between mountain tops and sky.
