Echoing of forms well seen. Perhaps more contrast?

Jeremy - too wan and not very interesting subject matter at this distance...the diagonals of land edge and sky just work your eye out of frame. The dark sky element is just another subject altogether that doesn't really support the landscape. It appears very noisy too in this jpeg? I think there are some very interesting aspects of the rock formations that work "better" when cropped - will message you some later when have chance. /B

I like the angles of the mountains and clouds, but also understand brandtb's concerns, esp. the 'crispiness' of the mountain side. I'm curious: what is that rectangular object in the lower left? Once I saw it, it acted like a magnet. I couldn't get my eyes off of it.

Slobodan, I agree the ground could do with a bit more drama by way of contrast: I think the sky has enough already. Here's a version with a contrasty gradient mask applied to the lower half.

Bob, it's a road sign. It says END 241. Removing it would be trivial.

I like the geometric patterns and the dramatic sky. I would also clone out the road sign.
Well done!

That rectangular object is a highway sign, and I agree it should be "disappeared." I think this is a fascinating landscape but agree that it's a bit flat. I think some attention to processing could turn this into a very nice photo.

I might increase contrast by darkening the distant mountain and brightening the closer, very slightly.

Nice image, I really like the lines in the hillside. I agree about a little more contrast and cloning the sign but otherwise a nice image that I bet would look great as a print.
