My goal definitely wasn't to make you feel bad. I personally just prefer to have the full color depth in pictures of landscapes such as this. Some people like it, others don't. If a lot of people like it then you're probably doing something right anyhow. Take my comment as my own personal opinion, not an objective judgement of whether or not your photography is good. I do apologize if my comment came off as dismissive or rude.

In fact I would say everything else about the photo is superb to me. You have great composition. Don't be discouraged by little old comments like mine, and keep doing what you love. :)
