Very moody and atmospheric, Yogesh! The image appeals to me.

The only tentative CC that comes to mind is that the dark area between the nearby ridge and the next row of peaks is maybe a bit featureless; I find my eye drawn to it and finding only the wisps of mist (which do add some interest).

Having said that, I don't know what you could have done about it, other than major reframing, and I suspect many would see it as negative space, and not a problem. If there is more texture in the area which you could bring out with processing, that might actually kill the very atmosphere I like here. In any case, it is a minor issue.

Hi Yogesh. At first impression, the tonal gradation may be a bit more gradual in my opinion. Almost entire middle portion is in shadow. Even the bottom black is unable to save.

I think that is much better, Yogesh. There's less of a blank void now, and the image flows from bottom to top. There's a sense of mystery and vastness I really love here. Well done!
