The mountain is a bit too dark IMO. Nice photo otherwise.

I know what you mean. I could brighten it some more, but this is probably fairly realistic.
It was mid-December, so near the shortest day of the year. Things were still pretty dark at 7 AM, I think sunrise was around 8.

Maybe lighten the mountain and foreground, for the sky darken and increase saturation, and a small radial filter with increased exposure for the moon? I think it’s a good shot, just need to brighten up some parts first.

Hmm, wait, I should have gone with this shot. It's only 4 minutes later, but with some different settings and processing. A bit brighter, more of frozen Reflection Lake.

I really like this one. Maybe brighten the lake itself up to draw attention?

This was 6:56 AM, so it was starting to get brighter. Some planet rising there with the Moon, I assume.
I had been there since around 4:30 AM, so got a lot of star pictures too.
