I like the composition and sharpness. The purple in the lower left corner has me wondering if the colours are a little oversaturated.
Welcome!

Thanks for your thoughts. That foreground rock was actually too light and didn't have much color to it in the original photo, so I had to do some burning to bring out the colors again as it was far lighter than the rest of the image. This bought out the purple. Looks like I may have overdone the burning. Easy fix.

I agree with Scott.  Otherwise well done!

Love,

Absolutely beautiful but I have to agree with the previous comments about the purple color on the left corner.

Thanks a bunch for the comments all. I've done a bit of fixing up on the rock, will post the results a bit later. I can't completely get rid of the purple tinge as it really was quite purple in person, but I do agree that it seems a little overly purple and stands out in the image.
