Critique:

The elments of the photo all nearly rest within a horizontal column of thirds within the frame; with the mountain tops and sky at the top, the mountain bases (starting below the line of snow) and feilds,  and then with the flowers making  up both the bottom of the frame and the forground. There is a long depth of feild; which translates to a small aperture.  There is a contrast between the darkness of the Mountaintops and clouds, sky, and bright green grass.  The snow near the base of the mountains is almost a light lavender color, which matches with the color of the flowers in the foreground. Near the top right of the photo, there is a lighter spot which -could- just be light striking through the clouds, or some sort of processing error.  The ridge that comes down from the top left thirds to just above the middle of the frame acts as a leading line into the valley; where either snow snakes up into the mountains, or soft indentions in the land give way to a field of flowers.
