I took this shot while shooting wildflowers last summer, but just got around to scanning it. The flower conditions weren’t great while I was out, but I ended up with a nice sunset over the Sneffels Range.

Hopefully the snow will melt before the Aspens change! I'm also hoping for a good flower year.
As for the photo, I like it. Its a classic view and well represented here. I'm sure you've adjusted the WB, but it maybe looks a tad on the blue side. Maybe its just me, I always like things warmed up. Other than that, I think you should just crank out a giant print and call it good.
And where was the sunset shot, did I miss it?
Wow - that's extremely pretty! Makes me long for warmer days and want to be right there. The balance in the foreground is a nice compliment for the peaks. There might indeed be a little color tweeking to help touch things up - I'm almost getting a bit of reddish hues (?), but it's fine as it is and could be my eye or monitor.
Guys - thanks for the feedback... Now that I look at it, I agree as well - the color is a bit off... This is basically as straight scan from Velvia 100, and I only lightened the lower part of the image.
I will WB this a little better, and post an update later tonight.
I still have a lot to learn I guess. When I look at this image before reading comments, I am in awe of the way you've captured it. I shot a similar image a couple years ago but not half as good as this. I guess I've still not reached the stage where I can see the little things like color casts. It is only after I read the other comments that begin to notice the little things. The comments help me when I look at my own images, although I still have a lot to learn in photoshop. Back to this image...I love it and I would hang it on my wall for sure!

It just looks like Velvia 100 to me. I had several sheets shot in the afternoon that looked similar.
