The Open Road

1. It's a nice composition. It's one that we've seen a hundred times, but that does not make it bad in any sense. It just means that you need to do something to distinguish it.

2. The car. I like the idea of having a vehicle in the image (see point 1, above). But it's so far away, it has zero impact. Maybe have it closer to the camera?

3. The mountains are blue in your image. Due to the shade, of course. But if you masked the mountains and got rid of a lot of the blue, they would look more "natural" (ie, closer to how our brain/eyes fool ourselves and makes color adjustments automatically).
