I like the beams of light and shadows playing in the hills. Wish I didn't have to look so hard to see them. A sacrifice in width to pull those hills in closer may have paid off. The cloud foreground, for me, doesn't add anything except a distraction.

Congrats on the HM. You were in my top three, and while I suspect this photo's "homage to Ansel" took into account his zone system (something I believe works far better applied to color than B&W), I believe a treatment that brought some of the blacks to full black while also boosting some of the shadow detail would have made it my #1 as it's a very well executed exposure.
