COMPOSITION
I really like the "layers" of colors in this shot. This reminds me so much of the Southern Appalachians where I live. It is more difficult to shot effectively than some realize, adn you have done well I think. I also like that the "bottom" layer is very dark, it serves as an anchor for the shot. Also, though normally I think power lines and such detract from shots, this one kinda adds interest for me. It also helps to tie the middle of the picture and the bottom of hte picture together, I think. Perhaps if it had been a little more to the left, it could have become the actual subject of the photo.
TECHNIQUE
Though it has nice colors, and I like the different layers, it does seem a bit bland. I don't know what settings you were using, but maybe a slower shutter could have captured some more??? Or, using a haze filter (or nd filter sometimes helps) would have helped eliminate some of the haze that is just hanging around and not contributing significantly to the picture (mid left). Not sure, so that probably doesn't help alot.
OVERALL EFFECT
This is one of those shots that makes me want ot sit adn stare because it is so peaceful adn serene. Great work
Best to you in future challenges.
