Really good picture. The upper left corner is quite perfect.

Nonetheless, the front is too smooth, so the surface (snow and rock) is not 
looking right. It is very, very difficult to model anything natural in such 
detail that it is convincing when seen up close, even things like humus, 
pebbles, rocks, sand and snow... There are so many differently shaped rocks 
(and in other scenes: plants, trees, vines, leaves) that it is more than 
hard to get a realistic render.

I would try to cover the front in a kind of ground fog. Thus the too smooth 
rock surface and flat snows on outcrops would become less noticeable and 
look more realistic.

Apart from this, again, a really nice picture: congratulations.
