I think alot of the issue with this photo came with the focusing, I have looked at it on 2 monitiors(one cal'd, one not) and the focus seems soft one both. It sadly seems a bit worse on the uncal'd one. I am going to give a bit of both to you and hope it helps you.
On the cal'd monitor, the colors are good, the softness dulls the texture of the mountain not giving a sharp feel to it. On the uncal'd monitor, the trees look blurred together slightly and again the mountain is not sharp.
I like the idea of it but I was one of your 5's in the challenge due to the overall photo being less sharp.
