Hello from the Critique Club!
I have studied your image and have the following to offer:
Composition/perspective - visually there is a lot to see in this image without it being busy. The flower on the right would be a much stronger element if not cut off. A slightly different perspective would have left the bright spot on the right out of the shot while allowing the whole flower to be in the shot. The bright spot starts to get blown out as all the detail in that area is lost. I see mainly three areas in the shot and they seem to be well balanced. The fog adds a nice element of serenity to the scene. Perhaps a crop that takes out a bit more of the sky to keep your focus going no higher than the mountains, make the valley of fog stronger without upsetting the balance of the view.
Color - there are a lot of colors in this shot that just don't show through as they might. A boost in contrast, saturation may help this. The soft tones in the fog below the farthest ridge, the reds in the trees off on the left, these being stronger would add more depth to the shot. May also help emphasize the soft yellow glow from the sun.
Lighting - good use of natural light. This appears to be sunrise, a bit longer and the flower on the right may have gotten a dose and would show much brighter. But the soft glow from the sun applies a nice effect to the foreground while the fog is just starting to show the color.
Challenge requirements - this certainly meets the landscape criteria. This is a beautiful location that shows a nice transition from hills, to valley, back to hills. Very nice choice.
Overall/my opinion - I really like the mood in this image. Very peaceful and serene. The flower to the right either should be all the way in the shot or all the way out. Cutting it off makes it a bit if a distraction. The grasses that poke up next to it are a little distracting, but the strength of the scene outweighs that. Overall this is a beautiful capture.
EDIT: Changed left to right in first paragraph.

| The colors seem kind of flat, and I would have tried to get the whole lily in the picture on the right, and somehow brought the yellow out some more. |

| Great panoramic view. I would have liked to have seen a bit more room on the right hand side where the flower is cropped off, but a nice shot. |
