I didn't see any way to vote. It is a great selection of the view. A shot from the river is less commonly seen, and a winter view adds to the good deviation from merely normal.
The technical problem is that the background is not quite in focus. So this photo is a good one to shoot at f32 or f64.. Obviously you would need a tripod, and you might need to increase iso.
As far as post processing, increasing saturation and brightness on the meadow, trees and mountains just a bit would help, and Increasing saturation in the sky. To me, this would be very difficult to do seamlessly.

Zooming in this photo doesn't help as it is a low res upload. Original image the mountain are in good focus and I will try the brightness on meadow. Thanks for the comments.
