From a recent trip to Montana. My first time there and not being familiar with the area I drove around looking for things to shoot. Since all my editing gear is down in Louisiana I'm doing this on my 12" Powerbook. Some feedback on color, contrast, saturation and sharpening is appreciated

Olympus E-1, 50mm f2, Pol filter.

Brings out the vastness of big sky country well. I think I would crop about half of the sky though.

I agree with EJ about cropping the sky. It will improve the comp.

I like it. Agree with E.J.'s comment and would add that the tall grass in the left third of the image protrudes into the mountain and I find that distracting. It was the first thing my eye went to. A little cloning and you could bring it down onto the same level as the green foliage.
