Well, the background does look almost out of focus, but I think that's what you'd expect from the Cubic B-Spline. Otherwise it looks an intriguing image to me - I like the way the clouds are positioned. What is it that you want to fix??

what do you mean by intriguing...? -

Intriguing = interesting - interessant, non? I think you are being a little harsh saying that it has no life, but perhaps it would help if it weren't so blurry, so maybe all it needs is rendering with a sharper pixel filter.

sharper Pixel filter "Box" ?
bigger ...at what size ...1680x1050 it's OK ?

Box, or Narrow Cubic, or if you want real sharpness, Catmull.

I agree, bigg might allow for more details to come out. And don't throw this image away, it has real potential, especially the snow!

Here's a new render

That's much better. I am curious about the arc cutoff of the clouds, I have seen this in nature. I was wondering if this was on purpose and would a more jagged edge look better.

I thinks he's using a distance shader to mask out the clouds above the camera, if that's the case use a larger value between far and near colors if you're using 5000 for far use 2500 for near, to give the gradient more space. I like the foreground looks quite realistic like sandstone  ;D

yes it was a distance shader...
...and the values where 10000 and 5000 i think that's what you mention...

Yes that's it, try to bring the values closer to the camera so you don't get that line.

I prefer the lighting in the original.
