It is real – I can attest! I love the fog/cloud bank setting off the near hills. I would consider warming the WB a touch more to reduce the blue in the shadows, but just a touch, not all the way to neutral. It would lessen the contrast drama a little but would increase the warmth of the light a little. Artist’s choice, for sure. The hue looks great. It looks just a tad oversharpened.

Diane, thanks for the post processing advice, it helps me to pay more attention to the subtle changes in the image.
