For some reason, the colored leaves in the immediate FG distract me. The comp would be much stronger with just the grasses. (Cloning would probably be an impossible task here though!) I think the main show should be that lovely line of frosted trees in the background. A significant crop up from the bottom, to a little bit below the large boulder (to more of a pano crop) would put the focus on those lovely trees. If you don't want to crop, perhaps opening up the FG shadows with a levels adjustment or shadows adjustment might help us see the FG better. Lovely colors, and kudos for being out there in the cold! I'm shivering just looking at it!

The pano is a big improvement. I was going to suggest that upon my inital viewing but it looks like Angela beat me to it.

I think the pano repost is just what the doctor ordered Verdon.
There was just too much dark FG in the original for my tastes.
Beautiful place - Well done :wavey:
