Converted with LightRoom, pushed color and contrast up.
Post processing: spot retouching, added density to the sky, removed a person from the far shore. Desaturated purple fringing and blurred slightly.
This challenge gives me a new appreciation for how technically difficult it is to produce a truly appealing landscape. Bear_Music, Heida, e301, Bobster all come to mind as outstanding practitioners of the craft.`

I like what you are going for here, but given the nice detail in the background, I think the foreground needs to be lit a little. Otherwise the sillouhette gets lost in the background.
As a viewer, I would have preferred to see the opposite of this where the beautiful folliage was in focus and the foreground was out of focus as a silohuette.
