Beautiful color. I like the light and shadow, particularly since you maintained some detail in even the darkest part of this image.
Nicely done

Richard,

I think the shaded areas need more detail to show through if you are going to present the composition as is. Right now, the shaded areas make up the majority of the frame and there is not much of interest to see in them. Since you did capture a +1.5 exposure, I would expect that you can get more detail in there.
