Greetings from the Critique Club!
This shot has so much potential...I love the composition and the setting, it's so romantic...that it could be absolutely stunning, but I have to side with  Neat here. The light is flat and just does nothing for the gorgeous scenery around it. Going by the sharp thin shadows visible in the sides of the background mountains, I can tell it was shot in late morning or early afternoon. The sky beyond the mountains is almost bleachy. With a scene like this, it is worth getting up very early or going out a bit later just to get the light.
In terms of settings, the deepest dof won't do a very good job if the ISO is high, and for a midday shot, ISO 200 is high. I don't know how low Fuji goes, but surely it can do ISO 100, right? If absolutely necessary to get the shot at this time of day then jack up the speed to help minimize the amount of light entering your camera. Save slow shutters for when you have a tripod and a nice sunset or sunrise.
Sorry if this is a bit harsh, but I can see so clearly what this shot could be...!
