Pretty nice, good to see the contrast between the barren/desertlike landscape and the snow in the mountains behind it, gave it a 7.

Back to comment: You found a very scenic location for a landscape challenge but the composition of this image is a little busy. I find the scrub brush and large boulder in the foreground to be a bit domineering in the composition. You may want to try cropping them out to see what it does for the image. The contrast between the brown Alabama Hills and the snow-covered mountains is nicely captured but the overall contrast of the image could use a little boost. The image also appears to be slanting to the left a little bit but that could be just an illusion caused by the terrain. 7

Nice image, good landscape and I hate to say this but the horizon does not look level. The foreground Alabama Hills look fine but the background snow covered mountains and sky are obviously tilted counterclockwise several degrees. Try correcting for the background horizon and you may find it DOES look better. :)

Althought it may be, the horizon doesn't seem level.
