Located about 20 minutes from my home, I drive by this valley all the time. I always have to stare. It was difficuly to get a good angle. See the weird little mountain, on the top left. I was up there too. From that side, however, there were a lot of roads and highways visible.

great variety of colour in the foreground.. there is an area just above the center that seems to have an unnatural brightness compared to its surroundings. just feels out of place.
I'd give my left eye to be able to see this in person...what a terrific view! Such a bucolic and tranquil scene. Gorgeous colors and good composition. Good luck in the challenge! :)
There are alot of elements I like in this pciture. The cute little neighborhood in the middle, the light trees in the middle thrid, the colors in the lower left. However, it just seems all in the wrong place (my eye just wanders aimlessly). Above average score.
NIce curves on the background. It does seem overprocessed. Maybe it is all the detail in the foreground. Anyway, the exposure may have been off at the time the photo was taken. In order to get sky detail, with such an uneven light balance, you need to use a polarizer or neutral density filter to adjust for the very dark foreground the camera reads and the bright background.
