It's an old Aklanon tale ... the Madia-as mountain in the background is seldom seen because of cloud cover. When it is seen, it is high above the cloud ... with an ethereal fantastic quality to it.

You have such a pretty scene here, and it does meet the Challenge. Unfortunately, it didn't score very well, and you have some clues as perhaps why it didn't from your commentors.
The cloudy day obscured the bright and vibrant colors that exist in the ground and trees and the mist concealed the mountain. When viewers cannot find a strong focal point, they tend to move on without looking for the interesting details that may lurk within.
Since this was an Advance Editing Challenge, you might consider the use of Levels and Curves and some of the other PS goodies to make the colors pop. Another thought would be to crop drastically both up and most of the right side, to concentrate only on that mystical mountain with just a touch of treeline to indicate ground.
Obviously, these are just thoughts. Your portfolio tells me you are a good photographer and I expect your next Challenge could be a winner!
I do not know that legend. This picture is to gray and no clear focus. The mountain is not visible enough. No special details. The placement of the mountain in the picture is good though.
This has the posibility of being a really nice image. It is a creative fit to the challenge, but the sky seems flat and all of the green grass in front draws the eye away from what your true subject is. I would suggest cropping out a bit of the grass and then upping the contrast and blue saturation in the sky.
