Nice color on the rocks. I assume this is around sunset. I like the rocks in the background that have even more color and the sky has a nice deep tone too. Good job.

LITTLE TOO MUCH SATURATION. TONE IT DOWN A LITTLE TO HELP KEEP THE SKY BELIEVABLE. I PROBABLY WOULD CONTRAST MASK OUT THE SKY TO GIVE THE FOREGROUND THE DESIRED PUNCH WITHOUT MAKING THE SKY LOOK TOO BLUE.

mountains in the back drop seem far too over saturated and look to be glowing.
