Any thoughts?
ISO : 200
Aperture : 5.6
Exposure : 1/160

Okay, my picture is not sharp as I would like it to be, even with a little sharpening with GIMP. I’ve put again a little more sharpening, but with a f/5.6, and knowing that this picture was cropped, I don’t think I can do more than that.
I’m mainly asking for thoughts on composition, which is something I need to practice a lot! How can a shot like this one could be a good composition, if there are no interesting subjects?

I like the sky. It has a sepia look to it.
There is a strong horizontal line across the center of the frame cutting the image in half.
You might try one of two things.
Crop the lower darker Hills away and bring the horizontal line down to the first third line.
Also try pulling up the exposure on the foreground and adding saturation to make the color in the trees the subject.
Thanks!
Here is my try, but honestly I don’t know what to think about it.Crop the lower darker Hills away and bring the horizontal line down to the first third line.
Well, I found it difficult to crop it as you said, because as you can see, the lower hills and the middle hills are meeting at the right, so if I crop the lower hills, there isn’t much left of the middle hills. Also, with this crop, the trees on the lower edges seem now to have no connection with the mountains, and distract me. Do I have to crop them also?
I also pulled up the exposure, and added saturation.

@Mr.Quebec, I went ahead and moved this topic to the “Composition” forum because your request is more about composition than it is on general critique. I’m still in the process of determining what forums to include and keep, so perhaps one of these days it may be moved back. 🙂
What would you say is your subject? To me, I liked the idea of overlap, dark foreground, more neutral middle ground and light background hills bathed in sunlight. That pulls my eye into the scene. But I may have tried going vertical, including less of the sky depending on what were the details in the clouds and using a distinct element in the foreground for the eye to anchor on. Perhaps the trees on the left? There’s some nice contrast there.
I tried to find an example of my own, but every situation is different. Overlooks like this are really hard to photograph, regardless of how beautiful the scene is.
And overall, there really does need to be more detail in the image to really make it work, regardless of composition.
