I can only agree with what has been said. Great how many details you can discover when you zoom in. I like everything about this picture. What @Adhika_Lie said was also my first thought.

This is a gorgeous image Nathan. I love the mist and clouds swirling around the mountain. The way the soft light is illuminating the mountain creates a wonderful mood. My only suggestions would be to add some vignetting along the top edge/corners, and to lift a bit more shadow detail out of the spruce trees along the river. These are nits, but here is what I had in mind.
Very well captured: the composition and colors are fabulous. We all have our own personal style; my style would be to darken the sky and the light part of the mountain, as well as add some contrast to the snowy part of the mountain, like so:
Hi @Tony_Siciliano I like what you’ve done here. Your edits has created more drama. It is slightly different to my direction but definitely a valid approach. Thanks for taking the time to offer a suggestion.
This is wonderful Nathan, it’s so majestic. and you captured a great atmospheric moment. I don’t think it really needs any changes, but I’ll just throw one more idea on the pile.
