A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

First off, I want to say that I really like this pic and obviously my thoughts are subjective to me so grain of salt and all that.
For me, three things ...
The first is that there almost seems to be two opposing compositions (Marked in Red/Blue below) the foregroud pushing up to the left (or down to the right) and the background pushing to the center. I'm not sure what the area you were shooting from was like (Looks like you were at the north end of the lake?). If you moved to the left a bit you could have aligned the two compositions to feed a point of contrast where the mountains converged.
Second, (I'm going off memory here) the lake runs north/south which means if you shoot from the North to the south you get a highlight on the West Mountains in the morning and on the East mountains in the evening. If you want good detail in both maybe try blue hour since what little light there is will be diffuse and light both sides pretty evenly so you get that beautiful mountain goodness on both sides. Blue hour also helps with long exposures since you might not have to mess with filters and them Rocky mountain winds will push those clouds a little faster for your long exposure.
Third, if most of your elements in a scene are horizontal, shoot horizontal. Again, I wasn't there and I don't know what lenses you have/were using so maybe this wasn't feasible with your given situation
Again, this is a beautiful image and please don't let anything I said take away from that, I'm just a guy on the internet who has a particular vision and style that may not pertain to you at all. Cheers!
