Looking for CC on this un-edited Landscape Shot

[sam_franklin]

So I went out today and took a few landscape shots, this is just one and hopefully some more will be on my website once I've finished styling it! Critique welcomed!

Highlights blown out.

Low contrast.

What's the subject?

By "un-edited" I assume that you mean you have not processed the image using post-production ("Photoshop") software. Why? Just as in the days of film, NO image was ever at its best without a little dodging & burning, or an extra second or two in the developer, no digital file is at its best directly from the camera. Of course the goal is to get the best possible image directly from the camera, but there's always room for improvement. Therefore asking for C&C on an "unedited" image is really rather pointless. Sort of like asking someone how they like their new home when it's only half built.

Thanks for all your criticism, I didn't really think about many of these things when I was taking the image but they're things to look out for. Thanks
