An awe inspiring scene for sure. I like the composition very much, well balanced, interesting sky and the landscape in the foreground (fg) looks good too as complimentary element for the mountain. However, I think the image is a little too dark, particularly the foreground landscape. I am viewing this on a very dark monitor at the moment, so I might be wrong, but you might want to consider brightening the fg a bit.

A different view than most.
At first the distance bothered me but I began looking at the foreground and I like it.
The preponderance of horizontal lines is appealing.
Wonder about a tad more saturation of the gold in foreground???
The fog is the cherry on top.

A very "gentle" scene. I could sure start my day looking at this scene and sipping some good coffee. I like the variety of pastel colors in the lower half of the sky and the patch of mist is a great addition. I'd be tempted to crop a bit from the right so that the mist balances the mountain.

I like the layering and depth created by the composition and colors. There is a nice frame created by the darker areas at the top and bottom.

I love the composition in this, and the overall scene, but I do agree with Didl that the FG seems a bit on the dark side (just a little bit).

Thanks for the input everyone - after posting I did notice that the whole shot in general looked a bit darker than intended. Here's a repost, any better?
