I like the quality of the light, and the various lines/planes.

Lovely light! It shines its gold colors on the foreground trees and on the distant peaks. My only minor quibble would be the dark tips of the trees, a possible consequence of the use of a ND filter. It might be addressed with good post-processing.

Bravo and thanks for sharing.

You might correct it in Photoshop. I'm also a great lover of mountains and peaks. Sometimes we're overwhelmed by their beauty!

This one looks better to me now. However I am not happy with how the sky looks. Any advice how it could be made a little more interesting in postprocessing.
