Funny, I looked at this and identified this as similar to the work of the Group of Seven even before reading the description. Really quite outstanding, and with a few brush strokes, a dead ringer. As a photo, the only issue I'd have is the haloing on the ridge line and slight heavier use of color saturation that maybe needed. Other than that, a vista worth revisiting and certainly an inspiration for a series of images. Nice job.
A bit too heavily edited for my taste, had you toned down the high pass look (or whatever was done to get this look) I would have liked it much better. Still a good shot, gave a 6.
HDR? I like the textures and simplicity. Nice array of colors. If I were to change anything I might make the blue of the sky a touch more vivid, but no points off. 7
