My apologies for the bump, but I'd love some feedback on this redo of my original post. (I'm worried it's a little too far down the threads to be noticed.)
Darren's comment about the lighting got me to thinking, primarily because it actually was taken in late light, and I decided I should try processing a little differently.
I'll post the original below, and thanks ahead of time for any feedback.
Edit- Dang it Erik, I forgot about that corner. I've adjusted the above photo so it's not quite so dark.

It looks sharper, the mountain isn't' hazy and it just seems to have more depth. That lower left corner still kind of distracts (IMHO) but over all I think it's excellent!
I definitely like the new version better. It "grabbed" me more when I opened the post. And I also think it does a better job of matching the "late light" look.
Very nice and incredibly sharp image of the mountain. I prefer the darker version. The image has a very strong foreground which almost overpowers the mountain. If I were to make a change it would be to crop out the dark triangular section in the lower left. It still leaves the image with strong foreground but, in my opinion, better balances the scene.
