A great scene, but hurt by excessive compression. Your file size of only 60k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what is robbing most of the detail and sharpness from this image. I can see lots of compression artifacts and blockiness around the high contrast edges. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (200k for this one)

I think this could have been quite a nice shot, but you seem to have WAY over sharpened it. The mountain in the background looks completely fake and the whole photo looks like it has been blown up from a thumbnail image. Did you crop this from a much larger shot or something?
