Brandon, I think you did very well overall. I like your composition, it's a classic example of "the rule of thirds", and I like your placement of the sun in the shot. I wish the sun was SLIGHTLY more to the left, but it looks as if you had moved over slightly to the right, (which would have shifted the sun more to the left in the frame), then you would have sacrificed your balanced composition because then you would have cut off more of the left side of the mountain, plus you would have lost those two pine trees on the left side-which I actually like a lot. Now, here's what I recommend for next time.
#1. I know it's been mentioned more than once, but definitely get yourself a light-weight tripod (I highly recommend one made out of carbon fiber) and most importantly, USE it.
#2. Get a shutter release cable.
#3. After you set up your shot (pick your location, compose the shot, etc.), pick your focal point. I would focus on the foreground for this particular shot and here's why. The mountain is the "focal point" of the overall picture because it's basically a massive rock, but rock has a lot of details that you can bring out just by adjusting your contrast slider. The flowers on the other hand are closest to you, and while you can help them look more in focus with the contrast slider, it's not the same as if you had focused on them to begin with. I probably didn't explain that well but I think you could NOT focus on the mountain and yet bring out enough details with your contrast that no one would know that you didn't focus on it, but it's more obvious with the flowers that they weren't in focus to begin with. Okay, so next, after picking your focal point (lets just say you chose the grouping of pink flowers on the right hand side in this case because it will also be easier to tell if they are in focus or not than a mountain that's quite a distance away), here's how I recommend you ensure that your focal point is actually in focus. FYI, I just learned this trick about 6 months ago and I wish I had learned it a few years ago instead. First, switch your camera into "live view" mode, (I know, a lot of photographers never use it, I was one of them until I learned this trick) then move your focal selection box over those flowers. Once you've done that, use the magnifying glass button to zoom in (just like you would if you were viewing a picture you had taken and wanted to zoom into the shot), once you've got a close up of the flower, turn off the auto focus on your lens and flip it to manual, then manually adjust the focus until that grouping of flowers is perfectly sharp. From there you just zoom back out of the close up and you're ready to take your picture-which you now know for sure will be perfectly sharp!
Good luck and keep shooting! You've definitely got a good eye.
