Decio,

A difficult contrast situation here as the dynamic range seriously out distances the camera's ability to capture the shadows. I like the idea and offer the following suggestions.

Composition:

1) I would have left a bit more foreground at the bottom to better anchor the image.
2) clipped light on right should be fully included or cropped out.
3) try using lens correction to realign the vertical distortions.
4) crop some of the blue sky out.

Exposure:

1) As mentioned, a single image will not capture the full dynamic range. The large black areas I feel are distracting and negatively impact the image.
2) You can try blending multiple images or HDR in these instances.
The mountain top is close to being over-exposed.
