What a majestic location. I love the painting of light on the mountains. The only part that is an off for me is that it looks like there is a lot of noise. imo you could have left the exposure bumped down a little which would have brought the light painting out even more. Great depth, it makes me want to walk/dream fly through this scene.

Good DOF and focus. Having shot from this exact spot in nearly same conditions I know how difficult it is to avoid over exposure of clouds and not have dark Pine Trees in foreground too dark.

Comment by SaraR:
The composition is good, but I find my eyes straining towards the light rather than being gently led there. The dark 2/3rds of he photo lack contrast and have a faintly murky feel. Personally I feel you have gone a bit too slow on the shutter - whilst it can be good to smooth out the water a bit, here there is no sense of movement at all.

Lovely image but it sits just a little too low contrast or "random film filter applied" for me. 7 as is but would likely have been top 3 otherwise.
