Took this image within Glacier National Park as the sun began to set. I used a Nikon Z7ii with a Nikon 28-400mm lens and one of the challenges that I had was to appropriately expose the river without over exposing the sky and the sun on the mountains. I think it would make a great large print because of the details and the serene environment captured in this photo.

I love Glacier National Park. Almost every year my brother and I try to do the Going-To-The-Sun Road on the bikes. This photo would really push past where it is with just a little something in the sky to pull us over there and attract our eyes, rather than just bland sky. If you can, I'd definitely head back there and capture this again when there's just a little bit in the sky. You could also look at combining exposures. Getting 2 or 3 shots for the shadows, highlights, and mid-tones. I believe you've done a good job making it truly level, however it really feels sloped to the left when looking at it. Something to consider if you manage to get back there.
Thanks, I appreciate your critique. I didn't have much luck with sunsets when I was there on vacation and the sky seemed to clear out when the sun began to set.
