Jim,
I really like this. I think you've composed a wonderful eastern Sierra autumn landscape. I like how you've filled the frame with both the mountain and autumn color. Nothing wasted here, but also the composition doesn't feel cramped. Excellent!
The only suggestion I have would be in playing with the processing. Nothing wrong really, but I might try and boost the color/brightness/pop/contrast of the fall color and maybe play around with the cyan in the sky. Really though, just a matter of personal tasted. But for sure, you've got a wonderful starting point if you choose to tweak it.

I like the scene and the trees on the left are balanced by the mountains on the right. I do think the processing might be worked on some, maybe the contrast.

Here is a reposted version based on your thoughtful comments. I have increased the contrast and saturation. I am not yet well versed in changing hues, but at least I was able to lighten the impact of the overly cyan sky. Thanks so much for your input everyone.
