First I used the dodge tool to even out the color because the sun had washed the mountains out the I used Auto levels,Auto Contrast,Auto Color, burn tool,unsharp mask and cropped.

Not sure if I like the trees at the fornt of your shot, then again, if it was cropped to take them out, again it wouldn't look right... I do like the mountains in the background, it's great that I can see each ridge etc on them.

Incredible landscape!!! I'd really like to stay there. Lighting is really hard maybe trying to take this shot at the sooner or later in the day to get the light behind you would have been amazing. (7)
Nice colors but they would pop even more if you had used a graduated Neutral Density filter. As is, the sky is over-exposed while the valley is underexposed. Mountains appear about right. Looks like a great place to call home!
