I think this may be your 2nd best image from this fall, right after my favorite:

I think you got the tones under control hee and the colors seem to balance well together. I think this is a fine image. One improvement I feel woud be to have those dark pines stand out even more than they do. If you could make the deciduous trees between us and the pines be less saturated it would do the trick. As it stands now all is well as you go from top to bottom but the effect is lost a bit because some of the drama from the dark pines is lost from he competing colors below. Just my opinion. I wouldn’t know how I would prefer it to look but have no idea how to achieve it. Just saw Harley’s rework. You need space below the pines.
