Hi Guys, first time posting over in the landscape forum for critiques. Hoping to do more good landscape work in the future. :D Been trying to develop a good eye for composition the last 6 months or so.

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO


I tried to compose this with the horizon on a third, the intersection of the mountains on a third, and the path on a third. It was shot with the Bower 14mm lens at f/8. I modified the photo by increasing gamma in the trail and by increasing contrast (steeper S curve) in the fields of dry grass. Let me know how you guys like it, and what you think could be better. The more criticism, the more opportunities for learning!

I guess one specific question I have deals with the hills on the right. They're very blue due to haze, and this looks unnatural. I'd like to modify the color, and I tried changing the white balance, but this didn't have a major effect. What are some suggestions for dealing with this?

Body: Canon EOS 5D Mark 2 • Lenses: Bower 14mm f/2.8 ED AS IF UMC, Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II, Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM, Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, Lensbaby 2.0, Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM, Canon EF 135 f/2L USM • Lighting: Canon Speedlite 580EX II • Support: Dolica CX620B104

Maybe try getting on the dirt road and shooting up will give it much more dramatic look.
