G'day all
Slowly working through the images from my USA trip.
Here's one taken around dusk from Alamosa, Colorado.

this is an interesting way to portray the area, and nice to look at overall
it so happens i was there Wednesday through Friday last week; while much of the
San Luis Valley was shrouded with ominous forest fire smoke, there were angles
of view where i could see clearly, including Blanca from the Alamosa area; to
my eye the foreground is too vivid since the desert floor is generally fairly
dull-colored, but perhaps you found an unusual patch of grass … looks like it
was not so late in the day as to put red on the mountaintops, or perhaps you
white balanced from the snow?
the tweaks i would propose are to not let the shadow point of the clouds get so
dark, to let the base of the mountains go darker, and to reduce the overall
vividness of the grass/fence colors; the proportion of the foreground seems
imposing to me, but i think that perception would change if it weren't so vivid
