What a great scene and beautiful tone and color.
I don't know if a touch of contrast/structure in the bottom left could balance that red section closer to the texture of the rest of the trees.
I had processed a version as you mentioned for needed balance but I lost a little of the nice foggy morning. I’ll upload this version for your view and opinion (see above).
There is an issue with Uploading Photos (attachjments). I am not sure what the problem is, and I am looking into it. You can still try to Create your Threads and Upload your Photos, but it is hanging up during the Upload.
