It's pretty good, Murph, but it contains two subjects. The mountains are interesting and the flowers are interesting, but is it about mountains or about flowers? Everybody shoots mountains. I think what I'd have done is shoot the flowers and their immediate surroundings. I'd do an example by cropping your picture, but the exact crop is up to you, so I won't.

I think you're right that a 4:5 crop will benefit this shot. I'm mostly concerned with color harmony here. I pushed the sky just slightly towards the color of the flowers to complete this but I wasnt sure if it would be noticable. It's a different processing method than usual.
