Good colors and nice exposure, particularly on the sky. I wish the tree on the left wasn't cropped off at the side, but you've done a good job capturing the beautiful red of the leaves.
Nice view. A little over the top on saturation (especially the blues) but ok nonetheless. One thing I wish for is a place to land. There's not really any subject or item that the viewer can linger on except maybe the foreground tree on the left. Hmmm... Anyway, just some observations. I'd have been tempted to take a fairly similar shot myself given this view. Good luck in the challenge.
