I have been a "photographer" since the mid 80s and have to say your pictures are stunning. First in every successful picture is composition and yours are as good as I have seen of the part of the country that is my favorite. I bought a place in NW Montana so I visit and hike these areas often.
Also, while many "purists" get turned off by the "heavy" post-processing many have adopted to enrich their pictures, yours are really right on target. I truly enjoy looking at these.
I also know the time and patience it takes to get those shots you are posting and it is no easy task especially for OCD people like most of us are, so kudos to you.
As for me, no matter how much I "know" about photography, I suck. Composition is something you can teach to a point but beyond that it is truly an "art". One of my best buddies, may he RIP who was a surgeon, if you met him, you would think he was dumb as brick, which he was anything but. We could be driving down the FL turnpike and he say, "Howie pull off" then pull out his Leica and I would look at him like he was crazy and a few days later after he emerged from his dark room was this incredible composition of the mangle of trestles of the tpke under construction at the then Joe Robbie Stadium. His pictures hang in all the bars out in the 4 corners as well as in my home in Montana.
Conrgats.
