I think that the most important part of a landscape photograph is detail. It can be effective to have very simple landscapes, but I really admire a landscape photograph which has great detail in the foreground, middleground and background.
To obtain great detail in landscape photographs, there are a number of things you can do. A large aperture is obviously necessary, and in turn so is a tripod. Using a large or medium format system is also a great way to achieve extra detail. The weather is probably the most important part in a landscape photograph, as it either makes or breaks the shot.
As well as detail, I really like colour in landscape photographs. I think it often adds to the scene, and gives it great depth and appeal. It often helps give it a sense of great beauty and emotion.
