It was a bright, sunny day at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. I cropped the photo to capture a sense of intimacy within the vastness of the landscape.

Hi Sheila! I love that place. Even though this is a middle of the day image, the color palette is nice, but maybe a little washed out. Consider adding a little contrast, then go into the Calibration Tab in ACR and adjust the saturation under each color. I like how you included as much color as possible, which is a lot. The eye goes straight to the small structure, then to the leading line in front of the structure and takes the viewer further into the scene. And going on with your theme of “intimacy within the vastness,” try going wider. If the subject gets too small, then physically get a bit closer. And finally, your processing is excellent
