Taken at Neist Point on the isle of Skye Scotland, It may not be the perfect landscape image but that's why I am trying to win a tutorial. The image was taken a few years ago on a trip back to Scotland.
I have adjusted colour, highlights and contrast in Photoshop Elements.

I like the photo and it's got decent composition but there's some lighting/colour issues for me.
The top of the first peak looks too dark to me and could be a bit lighter, just enough so you could see the details in the crags at the top.
The clouds at the top are also a bit grainy - I'm guessing that this was shot with reasonably high ISO, which can be a bit unavoidable if you don't have a tripod with you
I love the green of the foreground and wish the same vibrancy was carried over to the green further away. There's something odd with the blue of the sea at the right hand side too, and the change is quite jarring - not sure if it would look better with all the water as that colour, or vice versa but the difference is a bit too noticeable and distracts me from the headland.
Hope this helps!
