I see some artificial grayness that may be the result of trying to pull details from a backlit scene. I'm also on a spare computer which does not have the better monitor on it. I'll have to see how this looks form the other one in a few...

Added: Looks better on my other computer, but still shows some evidence of almost lightening some areas a touch too much, particularly the shrubs in the middle of the frame.

To me, it looks like a daytime shot that was under exposed or darkened.

Wish you had just a touch more foreground detail. Still, nicely done.

I like this but the hint of green in the corner seems to be in limbo. maybe it should have gone further one way or the other.
