COMPOSITION
I really like how you have framed this with the trees in the foreground. Not only do they providea natural frame, they also help to establish depth/distance in the picture, and add interest. I assume you have a valid reason for having this vertical, but I find myself wanting to see more on the left and right, in a horizontal fashion.

TECHNIQUE
The focus and color on this are nice. This would be an awesome shot with a nice blue sky, but I understand that you can't control the weather. I would, however, remember this scene and try to re-photograph it if you could, with a nice sky, or even a sunset/rise. The trees on the far side of the valley are a little dull. I live in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, and this is a problem we also have frequently. I have found that a polarizer can sometimes help, as can a neutral density filter because they allow me a longer exposure time in brighter conditions. Someone below mentioned a haze filter, which would probably also be extremely helpful, though I've never used one myself.

Overall effect
A great shot of a location that I would very much like to visit!

would have been better to cropmout the tree on the left side and possibily the branches on the right side. nice perspective, love the shot!

Good shot. A haze filter might have cleaned up the distance.

This is a really nice landscape, but I would have cropped the tree that is hugging the left side of the frame... nice work :) - setzler
