Welcome Joe.
As for me, I'd crop out the cars that are definitely out of focus and concentrate on the mountain.

You can keep the width and the buildings for scale as they are a little more focused. Simply crop up from the bottom of the frame. I agree, the width shouldn't be touched.

K. I didnt know your philosophy. I was just offering what I'd offer everyone. Sorry if I overstepped. It wasnt my intent.

Welcome Joe, you have some amazing scenery in your state, I vacationed there many years, mostly around the Moab area... Saw those red rocks and I was hooked! :-D

hi;and thank you,,but--you lost the upper grey clouds[with the white clouds]which made the blue sky stand out/the sky is not as blue.. truthfully the only thing I was bothered about are the power poles marring the landscape[I hate pp's]. thank you for the effort,but I am an awnatural person[its my own hangup/I know everything can be improved]and want people to see what I see,and--hopefully-- enjoy..
