Just a little PS contrast and saturation tweaking here.

Very nice choronr! I like the way the (nice) clouds subtly stay in the distance. I would only suggest slightly more color variation in the lower half of the mountain ridges, like you have done in the upper part, and perhaps that dead tree would have more grayish bark/wood? And maybe some more displacement/color vary in the smaller rocks. Nice one.

When I first moved to the desert area some 22 years ago, I was fascinated with the varieties of plants that grow here. The tree depicted here is the 'Palo Verde' which has green bark on it's trunk and branching. I found after reading about it that the trunk and branching both synthesize the same as it's leaves do. Several other varieties of desert trees do this also.

Ah, didn't know that. I'm not particularly in the desert in Holland. Learned something again, thanks.
