Please give input on framing and composition. Any suggestions on improving the shot.
Took this last July at a cattle ranch in Wyoming around 1600hrs.
Thank you

This is a very pleasant scene -- my eye catches on the mountains, and then comes to the pond in the foreground -- which is a bit funny (normally my eye goes INTO the frame, but hey, it works!).

Overall, the photo is pleasant, but there's something missing a little bit from it. It may be that the things which catch my eye -- the mountains and pond -- are all viewed slightly edge-on, or at least they're small. The sky is interesting, but doesn't hold my attention for very long. As a result, I feel like there's a lot more "weight" at the bottom of the image than at the top.

The more that I think about it, the more I feel that the "edge-on" view of the pond really is what bothers me.

Also, as a detail, the tree which is cut off on the left is a bit odd -- I'd like it to either be more in, or more out of, the frame.

Sorry I can't be more precise for you -- but overall, good start!

I like the colors and feel of this pic which is so vibrant. The framing is very pleasing and balanced, maybe it's because of the contours of the mountains which meets with the trees on the right. A very beautiful landscape.

It's a beautiful scene and the colors are awesome. I think to make it a little more interesting, you could have moved closer to the water and shot at a low angle with the water and possible reflection as the bottom of the picture. However, it's hard to say anything bad about this - the picture is beautiful as it is.
