What I like about this image is your attempt to layer the landscape using colors. This must have been taken on an overcast day because of the lack of brilliant color. This is a good example of foreground, middle-ground and distance. Shooting fall color is one of those times when full sunlight can work for you if you can keep the shadows to a minimum. The color is the subject here and you need more punch. Perhaps you can do something in your computer to liven it up. The snow capped mountings in the background are nice but again the color is off and they are tending to blend into the sky. Try to get more contrast between them by darkening the sky. I am a little concerned by the presents of a partial buildings in the picture. Not a major issue but in this case best to eliminate it.

This landscape image would have been a perfect candidate for HDR (high dynamic range), one can take multiple images, exposing for the dark, dark middle, middle, dark light, and light tones throughout the image, then using HDR sofware create, import the images and creat the perectly exposed overall image. It’s far better than using grad ND filters. Word has it that new generation DSLR’s will have HDR built in!
