First thing you need to decide is what is it you want the viewer too feel when looking at the picture (emotions memories) what are you trying to convey ??

One thing you could immediately focus on is the small farm or group of buildings and lose the road sign - or crop some of the sky out. My thinking here is that you want to show the smallness of that farm against the mountains.

Though the pic itself has a nice wintery feel to it.

I don't think it needs cropping at all. The yellow/dark/white layer is gorgeous. What I would do is try to focus a little better.

You have a field and some hills and some snow, but nothing that I would call a solid focal point. If you have a photo that doesn't work, don't be afraid to trash it and move on to the next one in line. That's where about 95% of my shots end up.
